Objectives

First paragraph

The objective of developing energy technologies is directly linked to the Community's energy strategy, the
aim of which is to increase security of supply in the long term and to reduce energy imports to a
reasonable cost, bearing in mind the environment. As far as the technologies involved are concerned, this
objective requires the contribution of solid fossil fuels and new and renewable sources of energy to be
increased in the medium and long term and energy efficiency and the rational use of energy to be greatly
improved.

Third paragraph

In addition, the development of advanced energy technologies should help to stimulate and improve
industrial competitiveness, including that of small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community as well
as enhancing the economic and social cohesion of the Community.

Proposal for a Council Decision extending certain provisions on the supply of milk and milk
products at a reduced price to cover Portugal

_COM(88) 716 final_

_(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 2 December 1_

(88/C 329/08)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43
thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European
Parliament,

Whereas Article 26 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of
the market in milk and milk products ('), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1109/88 ( [2] ), authorizes the supply at a reduced price of milk and certain
milk products to pupils in educational establishments;
whereas that provision was extended to cover the most
deprived persons during the cold spell affecting Europe
in winter 1987; whereas those arrangements should be
made available to Portugal in accordance with the rules
laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83 ( [J] ),
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 ( [4] ),
and in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2167/83 ( [5] ),
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88;

(') OJ No L 148, 28. 6. 1968, p. 13.
( [2] ) OJ No L 110, 29. 4. 1988, p. 27.
( [5] ) OJ No L 183, 7. 12. 1983, p. 1.
O OJ No L 28, 1. 2. 1988, p. 1.
(») OJ No L 206, 30. 7. 1983, p. 75.

Whereas the operations for supply to the most deprived
persons in winter 1987 were to ease the serious difficulties encountered by those persons, and in particular
out of solidarity in Portugal; whereas the measures
relating to school milk were introduced in particular to
inculcate certain nutritional habits in pupils of educational establishments; whereas that possibility should be
extended to Portugal from 1 January 1989,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

_Article 1_

Portugal shall qualify for the aid system for supply of
milk and milk products provided for in Article 26 of
Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 from:

1 January 1987 in respect of the most deprived

persons,

1 January 1989 in respect of pupils in educational
establishments.

_Article 2_

This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
