                               organization of the market in milk and milk products

                           (Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 7 July 1987)
                                                   (87/C 231/07)
        THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
        Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
        particular Article 43 thereof,
        Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
        Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
        Whereas the additional levy system introduced by Article 5c of Council Regulation (EEC) No
        804/68 ('), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 773/87 (2), lays down that the levy is
        payable on the quantities of milk and/or milk equivalent which exceed a reference quantity;
        whereas experience has shown that certain producers do not intend to use in full their
        individual reference quantity during a 12-month period; whereas the Member States should be
        authorized to make available to other producers, for the 12 months concerned, the quantities
        that the producers to whom they have been allocated do hot intend to use,
        HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                                       Article 1
        The following paragraph la is hereby added to Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68:
             'Member States may authorize the temporary transfer, at the beginning of each period of
              12 months and for the duration of that period, of the part of the individual reference
             quantity that the producer to whom it has been allocated does not intend to use.
             Member States may restrict transfers to certain categories of producers determined
             according to objective criteria, taking account of the structures of milk production in the
             regions or collecting areas concerned.'
                                                       Article 2
        This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the
        European Communities.
        It shall apply with effect from the third period of application of the additional levy system.
        This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
