      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 541/2006
   of 31 March 2006
   amending Regulation (EC) No 343/2006 opening the buying-in of butter in certain Member States for the period 1 March to 31 August 2006
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 of 16 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in butter and cream (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 343/2006 (3) establishes the list of Member States in which buying-in for butter is open, as provided for in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               On the basis of most recent communications by the Czech Republic, pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999, the Commission has observed that butter market prices have been below 92 % of the intervention price for two consecutive weeks. Intervention buying-in should therefore be opened in those Member States. The Czech Republic should therefore be added to the list established in Regulation (EC) No 343/2006.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 343/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,
