     COMMISSION  COMMUNICATION   TO THE  COUNCIL
                CONCERNING  FOOD  AID
IN THE FORM OF  SKIMMED  MILK POWDER    AND BUTTEROI L
                     FOR  GHANA
                  1979 Programmes
 ---pagebreak---  1.   Introduction
 Ghana has made a request for additional supplies of milk powder and
 butteroil to ensure a regular production of evaporated milk until end
 of 1981 .
 In this proposition the Commission proposes to the Council that additional
 food aid   consisting of 300 t of skimmed milk powder and 260 t of butteroil
 be granted to Ghana .
 2.  Justification
 Food aid in dairy products to Ghana is used for the preparation of
 evaporated milk , which is one of the basic food products approved by
the Government .
The industry in Ghana which processes    EEC    skimmed milk powder and
butteroil into evaporated milk has been erratic in its production rhythm .
Uncertainties about quantities or dates of arrival of various inputs have
not permitted the factory to maintain a regular output .
Because of the uncertainties about use of dairy product aid, the Community
did not propose an allocation of skimmed milk powder in 1978 and 1981 and
held back delivery of the 1980 aid .
Similarly the quantity of butteroil allocated is below the normal ratio
used for milk reconstitution programmes .
The 1980 allocation of 2,500 t of skimmed milk powder and 200 t of
butteroil has now been delivered . The 200 t of butteroil from the 1981
programme is being delivered .
 ---pagebreak---  The factory has been given priority for the import of other necessary
  inputs , particularly tin plate for canning the evaporated milk , and the
 factory has now resumed normal production . There is every indication
 that . this production will continue .     .
The present uptake of imported supplies of skimmed milk powder will ensure
 regular production until December .          •
The existing supplies of butteroil are already too little to maintain
production without additional purchases .
The Commission believes that the newly established production of milk in
Ghana should not be put in jeopardy by a break 'in supplies at the end of
the year . The Commission , therefore , proposes to the Council that an
additional 300 t of     skimmed milk powder and 260 t of butteroil be made
available to Ghana before the end of 1981 .
3.    Finance                     ,   .
The value of these aids can be estimated as follows :

credits in the general Community budget .             *

to the Republic of Ghana ,. 300 t of skimmed milk powder and 260 t of
butteroil to be taken from the reserve of the 1979 food aid programme .
These aids will be delivered to the port of loading .
