                                          Brussels, 30 April 1992
                           Proposal for a
                      COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
      fixing the guideline figure for the 1992/93 milk year
          for the fat content of standardized whole milk

                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71t1), as amended by Regulation
 (EEC) No 566/76( 2 ), with effect on 1 October 1976 the Member States applied the
formula for non-standardized whole milk with a fat content that has not been
altered since the milking stage (Ireland and the United Kingdom) or the formula
for standardized whole milk with a fat content of at least 3,5% (other Member
States, excepting Italy, which makes use of the authorization provided for in
Article 6(3) of that Regulation) for whole milk for drinking.
 In accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71, Ireland and the
United Kingdom must however allow standardized whole milk from other Member
States to be marketed within their territory where the fat content of the milk is
not less than the figure to be fixed for each milk year, corresponding to the
weighted average of the fat content of whole milk produced and marketed in the
Member state concerned during the preceding year (guideline figure).
On 20 November 1991, the Commission submitted a proposal to amend the
abovementioned arrangements from the 1992/93 milk year( 3 ).   Given progress in
discussions on that proposal, it is clear that it will not be possible to abide
by that date of entry into force.
Guideline figures must accordingly be fixed for the 1992/93 milk year in order to
permit the arrangements in force to continue to operate temporarily.
The guideline figures proposed correspond to the weighted averages as notified by
the two Member States in question.
The measure covered by this proposal has no financial impact.

               fixing the guideline figure for the 1992/93 milk year

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 of 29 June 1971 laying down
additional rules on the common market organization in milk and milk products for
drinking milkf 1 ), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88<2>, and in
particular Article 3(6)(b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71, Ireland and the
United Kingdom are to apply within their territory the formula for non-
standardized whole milk within the meaning of the second indent of Article
3(1)(b) of that Regulation;
Whereas the Commission has submitted a proposal(3) to amend the arrangements
laid down in abovementioned Article 3 from the 1992/93 milk year; whereas,
however, it does not appear possible to abide by that date of entry into force;
whereas the guideline figure which the fat content of standardized whole milk
from another Member state must meet to be marketed in the territory of the two
abovementioned Member States must accordingly be set for the 1992/93 milk year in
accordance with paragraphs 6 and 7 of that Article; whereas that guideline figure
corresponds to the weighted average fat content of whole milk produced and
marketed in the importing Member State during the preceding year;

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication
in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 December 1992.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all
Member states.
