                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Between 1979 and 1984/85 the Commission granted a direct consumption aid for
butter in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark and Luxembourg. For the
1984/85 marketing year the aid was reduced along with the intervention price
for butter and the Community subsidy was completely withdrawn from 1985/86.
In order however to prevent consumption from falling as a result in the
increase in prices national aid was authorized. Direct consumption continues
to drop steadily and it is proposed to retain the national subsidy option
(maximum 50 ECU/100 kg) for 1989/90.

OBSERVATIONS :                                                                                •
     The butter consumption is supported by national subsidy and consequently
     there is a smaller need for Community subvention.
     Under the assumption that only Luxembourg uses this possibility, the effect
     on the Community budget is negligible.
                                                                                                                       h
