                           Proposal for a
                      COUNCIL REFLATION (EgC)
 amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 1336/86 fixing compensation
       for the definitive discontinuation of milk production

                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
In 1986 a programme for the voluntary discontinuation of milk production was
introduced in the Community to bring about a 3% reduction in the guaranteed total
quantities for milk. Where the voluntary take-up of the programme was
insufficient to bring about a 3% reduction, the Member States had to apply an
across-the-board reduction in the reference quantities of all producers.
This proposal authorises Germany to apply this programme only by means of the
obligatory across-the-board reduction, which seems, as things stand, to
correspond better to the economic and administrative requirements of the eastern
part of Germany.

                                      of
         amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 1336/86 fixing compensation
               for the definitive discontinuation of milk production
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, .
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to 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 3641/90(2), and in particular Article 5c(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(3),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 of 4 December 1990(4) lays down the
transitional measures and adjustments required in the agricultural sector as a
result of German unification;
Whereas, pursuant to the said measures and adjustments, provision was made to
apply Council Regulation (EEC) No 1336/86 of 6 May 1986 fixing compensation for
the definitive discontinuation of milk production^), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90, in the territory of the former German Democratic
Republic; whereas it would not be in the general interest to bring about the 3%
reduction in overall production through a voluntary programme of cessation of
 activities; whereas, therefore, Germany should be authorized to reduce
 immediately and by an equal amount each of the reference quantities, without
prejudice to applications already submitted pursuant to Regulation (EEC)
No 2321/86 ( 6 ), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3776/90 ( 7 );
