                               Proposal for a
                         COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
       altering the special levy on imports of New Zealand butter
                          into the United Kingdom
               (submitted to the Council by the Commission)
  C0M(83) 51 final
 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Council agreed at its meeting of 18/19 October 1982 that the special
levy on imports of New Zealand butter under Regulation (EEC) No 8 5 8 / 8 1
would be adjusted when a new Community intervention price for butter
came in at the start, of the 1983/84 milk year,to bring the 25/ levy
into line with the new intervention price (cf. 10299/82 AGRIORG 525/
AGRIEIN 417 of 28 October 1982).
In the price proposals package, the Commission proposed that the butter
intervention price to apply from the star% of the 1983/84 milk year
should be 3 6 0 . 8 1 ECU per 100 kg (previously 349*70 ECU). The increase
in the special levy is based on this rise, taking account also of fat
content (80/ in the case of New Zealand butter).
                                                           80
Formula: 84.36 ECU (present levy) + 25/ of (+      11.11 x —  )
                                                           82
The financial implications of this proposal have already been taken into
consideration in the price proposals.

during January 1983 and reviewing the import levy for New Zealand butter             ,
fixes the new levy applying to imports from 28 December 1982;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No             /83 of               ^ f i x e s new inter­
vention prices to apply during the 1983/84 milk year; whereas the special levy
applying to imports of New Zealand butter into the United Kingdom should therefore
be adjusted to take account of the impact of the increase in intervention
prices on the conditions under which butter is marketed in the United Kingdom,
