COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

                            Proposal for a
                       COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
          amending Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 authorizing the
           Member States to grant consumption aid for butter
                    (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
   Between 1979 and 1984/85, the Community 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
   prices for butter and the Community subsidy was completely withdrawn from
   1985/86.  However, in order to prevent consumption from falling as a result
   of the increase in prices, national aid has been authorised since then!   As
^  direct consumption continues to drop steadily, it is proposed to retain the
Il national subsidy option for 1991/92 and the maximum aid level  is proposed to
   be kept unchanged at 50 ECU/100 kg.
                                                                                 I

                             COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No
                                          of
                emending Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 authorizing the
                 Member States to grant consumption aid for butter
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in
particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par I iament(1),
Whereas the arrangement introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85^2^, as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3232/90^), which authorizes Member States to
grant an aid for butter in favour of the final private consumer, expires at the
end of the milk year; whereas in order to prevent a drop in butter consumption
the aid arrangement introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 should be prolonged
for the 1991/92 milk year; whereas given the market situation, the maximum level
of aid should remain unchanged,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                      Art i cle 1
 In Article I of Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 "1990/91" is replaced by "1991/92".
                                      Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publicaiton in the
Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the beginning of the 1991/92 milk year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all
Member States.

 OBSERVATIONS :
 La consommation de beurre est soutenue par l'aide nationale et conduit, par conséquent, à
 un moindre besoin de subvention communautair3 sur le marché.
