++++ ( 1 ) OJ N L 148 , 28 . 6 . 1968 , P . 13 .   ( 2 ) OJ N 117 , 19 . 6 . 1967 , P . 2269/67 .  REGULATION ( EEC ) N 823/68 OF THE COUNCIL  OF 28 JUNE 1968  DETERMINING THE GROUPS OF PRODUCTS AND THE SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR CALCULATING LEVIES ON MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,  HAVING REGARD TO THE TREATY ESTABLISHING THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY ;  HAVING REGARD TO COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) N 804/68 ( 1 ) OF 27 JUNE 1968 ON THE COMMON ORGANISATION OF THE MARKET IN MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS , AND IN PARTICULAR ARTICLE 14 ( 6 ) THEREOF ;  HAVING REGARD TO THE PROPOSAL FROM THE COMMISSION ;  WHEREAS THE PRODUCTS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 1 ( A ) 2 AND ( B ) TO ( G ) OF REGULATION ( EEC ) N 804/68 SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO GROUPS , EACH GROUP BEING COMPOSED OF PRODUCTS WITH SUFFICIENTLY COMPARABLE CHARACTERISTICS FOR TRADE PURPOSES ; WHEREAS THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE PRODUCT FOR EACH GROUP SHOULD BE DESCRIBED AS THE PILOT PRODUCT ;  WHEREAS , HOWEVER , SPECIAL PROVISIONS MUST BE MADE FOR CALCULATING THE LEVY ON ASSIMILATED PRODUCTS WHERE THE LEVY CALCULATED FOR THE PILOT PRODUCT DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRICES OF THOSE PRODUCTS IN WORLD TRADE AND ON THE COMMUNITY MARKET ;  WHEREAS , FOR PRODUCTS IN SMALL PACKAGES , THE LEVY MUST BE CALCULATED ON THE BASIS NOT ONLY OF THE PRICE DIFFERENCE FOR THE PRODUCT ITSELF BUT ALSO OF A FIXED COMPONENT INTENDED TO GIVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PROTECTION TO THE COMMUNITY PROCESSING INDUSTRY ;  WHEREAS , FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING SUGAR , THE LEVY MUST INCLUDE A FIXED COMPONENT REPRESENTING THE VALUE OF THE SUGAR USED IN THEIR MANUFACTURE ; WHEREAS IN SUCH CASES THE MILK COMPONENT OF THE LEVY ON THOSE PRODUCTS MUST BE DERIVED BY MEANS OF A COEFFICIENT EXPRESSING THE WEIGHT RATIO BETWEEN THE MILK INGREDIENTS AND THE PRODUCT ITSELF ;  WHEREAS , FOR POWDERS WITH A FAT CONTENT OF OVER 1 * 5 % , THE LEVY , OR IN THE CASE OF COMPOUND PRODUCTS OR PRODUCTS IN SMALL PACKAGES THE MILK COMPONENT OF THE LEVY , SHOULD BE CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF THE FAT CONTENT OF THE PILOT PRODUCT UNLESS THE FAT CONTENT OF THOSE VARIOUS PRODUCTS IS GREATER THAN THAT OF THE PILOT PRODUCT ; WHEREAS , IN THE LATTER CASE , THE LEVY OR THE MILK COMPONENT OF THE LEVY MUST BE CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF A STANDARD FAT CONTENT CORRESPONDING TO THAT OF THE PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET ;  WHEREAS THE MOST USUAL INGREDIENTS OF COMPOUND FEEDING-STUFFS AND THOSE HAVING MOST EFFECT ON PRICE FORMATION ARE CEREAL PRODUCTS AND MILK PRODUCTS ; WHEREAS , THEREFORE , PROVISION SHOULD BE MADE FOR CALCULATING THE LEVY ON THESE FOODSTUFFS ON THE BASIS OF THEIR STARCH AND MILK PRODUCT CONTENT ; WHEREAS , HOWEVER , A STARCH CONTENT OF NOT MORE THAN 10 % NEED NOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ; WHEREAS , WITH THIS METHOD OF CALCULATION , FEEDING-STUFFS MUST BE GROUPED UNDER TARIFF HEADINGS ACCORDING TO THE CONTENTS REFERRED TO ABOVE AND A STANDARD STARCH AND MILK PRODUCT CONTENT MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR EACH TARIFF HEADING ; WHEREAS THE LOWEST POSSIBLE STARCH CONTENT AND THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE MILK PRODUCT CONTENT SHOULD BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE ; WHEREAS IN FACT MILK INGREDIENTS HAVE A MUCH GREATER EFFECT ON PRICE FORMATION THAN CEREAL INGREDIENTS ; WHEREAS THE CEREAL COMPONENT OF THE LEVY MAY BE DERIVED , ON THE BASIS OF THE STARCH CONTENT ASSUMED , FROM THE AVERAGE LEVY ON MAIZE , THAT BEING THE PRODUCT MOST COMMONLY USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND FEEDING-STUFFS ; WHEREAS THE MOST USUAL MILK INGREDIENT OF COMPOUND FEEDING-STUFFS IS SKIMMED MILK POWDER ; WHEREAS , THEREFORE , THE LEVY ON THAT PRODUCT SHOULD BE USED TO CALCULATE THE MILK COMPONENT OF THE LEVY ; WHEREAS THE LEVY ON COMPOUND FEEDING-STUFFS MUST INCLUDE A FIXED COMPONENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PROCESSING INDUSTRY AND WHEREAS THAT COMPONENT IS LIKELY TO OFFSET THE DISPARITY BETWEEN COMMUNITY PRICES AND WORLD MARKET PRICES FOR PRODUCTS OTHER THAN CEREALS AND MILK PRODUCTS WHICH MAY BE USED IN COMPOUND FEEDING-STUFFS ;  WHEREAS , FOR PROCESSED CHEESES OTHER THAN THOSE DERIVED FROM EMMENTHALER , GRUYERE OR APPENZELL AND FOR THE SAME REASONS AS LED TO THE ADOPTION OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM , A SYSTEM FOR DERIVING THE LEVY SHOULD BE ADOPTED WHICH IS IDENTICAL TO THAT USED FOR THOSE PRODUCTS UP TO THE PRESENT TIME ; WHEREAS A CENTRAL FEATURE OF THIS SYSTEM IS THE USE AS CALCULATION FACTORS OF THE LEVIES ON BUTTER AND ON THE PILOT PRODUCT OF GROUP 11 ; WHEREAS A CHANGE IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THESE PRODUCTS AND A GROWTH IN DEMAND FOR A PRODUCT WITH A HIGHER FAT CONTENT HAVE SHOWN THAT THE PERCENTAGES USED UP TILL NOW FOR SUCH DERIVATION DO NOT IN ALL CASES ALLOW THE OBJECTIVES OF THE LEVY SYSTEM TO BE ATTAINED ; WHEREAS THEREFORE THEY MUST BE FIXED AT MORE SUITABLE LEVELS ;  WHEREAS THE QUANTITY OF PRIMARY MILK PRODUCTS REQUIRED FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF FRESH CHEESES AND CURDS IS LESS THAN THAT REQUIRED FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF THE PILOT PRODUCT OF THE GROUP ; WHEREAS , THEREFORE , A LEVY DERIVED FROM THE LEVY ON THE PILOT PRODUCT SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THESE PRIMARY PRODUCTS , THAT LEVY BEING ADJUSTED BY A COEFFICIENT EXPRESSING THE OVERALL RATIO OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED QUANTITIES ;  WHEREAS FOR CERTAIN KINDS OF FRESH , CONDENSED OR CONCENTRATED MILK WITH A HIGH FAT CONTENT THE LEVY MAY BE CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF THE LEVY ON BUTTER , USING STANDARD COEFFICIENTS REPRESENTING THE FAT CONTENT RATIO ; WHEREAS THE SAME APPLIES TO BUTTER OTHER THAN THAT FALLING WITHIN THE SAME TARIFF SUB-HEADING AS THE PILOT PRODUCT ;  WHEREAS , BECAUSE OF THEIR COMPOSITION AND IN PARTICULAR THEIR VERY HIGH FAT CONTENT , CERTAIN PRODUCTS FALLING WITHIN TARIFF SUB-HEADING N 04.04 E II ARE LIKELY , AFTER IMPORTATION INTO THE COMMUNITY , TO BE USED AS A BASIC PRODUCT IN PLACE OF BUTTER FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF OTHER GOODS ; WHEREAS , CONSEQUENTLY , THE LEVY MUST BE FIXED AT A LEVEL WHICH WILL ENSURE THAT OUTLETS FOR COMMUNITY PRODUCED BUTTER USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THESE OTHER GOODS ARE NOT DIMINISHED BY THE IMPORTATION OF THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION ;  WHEREAS THE IMPORT LEVY ON SPECIAL MILK FOR INFANTS , HAVARTI CHEESE AND PROCESSED CHEESES DERIVED FROM EMMENTHALER , GRUYERE OR APPENZELL MUST BE CALCULATED CONSISTENTLY WITH RELEVANT COMMUNITY COMMITMENTS ; WHEREAS PRECISE RULES MUST BE LAID DOWN TO THAT END ;  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :  ARTICLE 1  1 . THE GROUPS OF PRODUCTS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 14 ( 3 ) OF REGULATION ( EEC ) N 804/68 AND THE PILOT PRODUCT FOR EACH GROUP ARE DETERMINED IN ANNEX I .  2 .
