 ---pagebreak---                                Explanatory memorandum
 Council Directive 72/280/EE3C has already brought about spectacular progress
 towards the harmonization of milk and milk product statistics within the
 European Community since 1 973®
 However , after five years of applying the basic Directive , the Commission
 considers that the Member States can supplement the rapidly available
 information on milk production by forvarding weekly data on the collection
 of milk . Such a survey was provisionally ruled out in 1971-1972 , when the
 basic directive was drafted , in view of the extent of the statistical
 surveyB which needed to be introduced by the Member States at that time#
 In addition , the recent , guidelines laid down by the Council on a proposal
 from the Commission concerning certain market support measures and affecting ,
among other things , the absorption of skimmed milk and whey , call for a
better statistical knowledge of the protein content of milk and the use
of whey .
Consequently , the Commission requests , the Council to supplement Directive
72/280/EEC with a weekly survey on the collection of milk and the monthly
transmission by the Member States of data on the protein content of mi3k and
the use of whey . Since the weekly survey on the collection of milk constitute
a new operation , provision should be made for a flat-rate contribution by
the Commission towards the survey costs incurred by the Fember States during
the first three years of application 1979-1 980-1 981 •

  on the statistical surveys to be made by Member States on* milk and
  milk products              (78/      /EEC)
  The Council of the European Communities ,
  ilaving regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
  and in particular Articles 43 and 209 thereof,
  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
  Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ,
 Whereas , in order for the Commission to have current data rapidly available ,
 weekly information on the delivery of milk to undertakings or establishments
 which treat or process milk should be supplied ia addition to the monthly
 results ;
  Whereas the protein content is becoming a determining factor in the price of
 silk and whereas the . permanent surpluses of milk proteins entail considerable
 difficulties in the management by the Commission of the market in milk and
 nilk products ;
 Whereas the Community measures concern whey and derived products and therefore
 J hese products should be added to the comprehensive estimate of the use of
 raw materials ;
 Whereas the general provisions contained in the basic Directive 72/280/EEC
 should apply to the supplementary provisions provided for in this Directive ;
 Whereat?, for the better harmonization of regional data, it is necessary
 to revise the previsions , particularly those Council Directive 73/358/EEC
 of 19 November 3 973 amending certain Directives following the enlargement
 of the Community^ ;
 Whereas the procedure involving the Standing Committee for Agricultural
 Statistics should be maintained in order to specify any transitional measures
 '•o deal with tb=s difficulties which the Member States might meet in implementing
 the supplemental?; provisions adopted by the Council ;
 Whereas the finer. c:i si contribution of the Community towards the expenses
 Incurred d ring the first three years by Member States when conducting surveys
 provided toi by this Directive should be specified ,
