                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
  The aim of the appended proposal is to reduce the Community aid on milk and
  certain milk products supplied to schoolchildren from 125% of the target
  price for milk to 62.5%. The proposal is linked to the discontinuation of
  the co-responsibility levy on milk, revenue from which was used to finance a
  substantial proportion of the cost of the abovementioned aid scheme.
  It is also proposed to repeal the provision on the financing of the aid.

           amending Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83 laying down general

 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 196 8 on the
common organization of the market in milk and milk products( 1 ), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2071/92( 2 ), and in particular Article 26(3)
thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 1(3) of council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83 of
30 June 1983( 3 ), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88( 4 ), fixes
the Community aid on whole milk at 125% of the target price for milk
applicable for the milk year concerned; whereas Article 3 of that
Regulation provides for the aid measure concerned to be partly financed by
revenue from the co-responsibility levy introduced by Council
Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77( 5 ); whereas the latter Regulation was repealed
by council Regulation (EEC) No 1029/93<6) with effect from 1 April 1993;
whereas, in the view of the budget impact on the one hand and of the
advisability of maintaining the school milk scheme on the other hand, the
community aid should be reduced and Article 3 as referred to above should
be repealed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
