Article 2(5 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1336 / 86 fixing compensation for the
definitive discontinuation of milk production provides for the direct payment
of compensation for the reduction where the reference quantities for the
producers as a whole are reduced to the quantities set out in Annex I
thereto . Regulation ( EEC ) No 775 / 87 also provides for the temporary
withdrawal of a uniform proportion of the reference quantities of producers ,
offset by the direct payment of compensation .
In Greece there is a large number of small producers of milk and production
encounters major difficulties in reaching sufficiently high quality
standards .  In view of the fact that the administrative task which must be
carried out for the direct payment of the abovementioned individual
compensatory amounts appears out of proportion with the benefit to producers ,
it is more efficient and more in the interests of those producers to authorize
Greece to invest the sums concerned in programmes to improve the quality of
milk , approved beforehand by the Commission .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,

common organization of the market in milk and milk products ( 1 ), as last
amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 744 /88(2 ), and in particular Article 5c(6 )
thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1336 / 86 of 6 May 1986 fixing compensation
for the definitive discontinuation of milk production ( 3 ), as last amended by
Regulation ( EEC ) No 841 / 88 ( 4 ), provides that where the reference quantities
for the producers as a whole are reduced to the quantities set out in Annex I
thereto , compensation is to be paid for the reduction ; whereas Council Regulation
( EEC ) No 775 / 87 ( 5 ), as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 840 / 88 ( 6 ),
provides in addition for the temporary withdrawal of a uniform proportion of
the reference quantities of producers ; whereas that suspension is to be offset
by the grant of compensation ; whereas the funds for that compensation must be
paid directly to each milk producer in Greece ;

Whereas a feature of milk production in Greece is the large number of small
producers and as a result of this in particular it faces major difficulties in
reaching sufficiently high quality standards ; whereas the administrative task
involved in the direct payment of the abovementioned individual compensatory
amounts appears out of proportion to the benefit to producers ;    whereas
it is more effective and more in the interests of producers to authorize
Greece to invest the sums concerned in programmes to improve the quality of
milk ,
