Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 141l/71 ^ as amended by Regulation (EEC)
No 566/76 ^ the Member States have, as from 1 October 1976, applied to
whole milk for human consumption either the formula of non-standardized
whole milk whose fat content has not been altered since the milking stage
 ( Ireland and the United Kingdom) or the formula of standardized whole milk
with a#minimum fat content of 3.5$ ( all other Member States , with the
exception of Italy who have made use of the authorization laid down in
Article 6(3 ) of the aforesaid Regulation.
Pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC ) No 141l/71» Ireland and the
United Kingdom must , however , permit the marketing on their territories of
standardized whole milk coming from another Member State if the fat content
of such riftlk is not less than a percentage to be fixed for each milk year
and corresponds to the weighted average fat content of the whole milk pro­
duced and marketed in the Member State in question during the previous
year ( guideline figure ).
According to the figures supplied to the Commission by the two Member
States concerned, the above–mentioned weighted average is 3.55$ for Ireland
and 3.7&fo for the United Kingdom.
It is therefore proposed that the Council should, pursuant to Article 3(7)
of Regulation (EEC ) No 1411/71, fix those figures as guideline figures for
the milk year 197°A979.
