                        COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
          amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 2452/ 76 on the transfer to

1 , These Regulations take into account the practical difficulties encountered
     in Italy in marketing beef and butter made available to the Italian inter­
     vention agency by the intervention agencies of other Member States . Since
     the sale of these products on the Italian market cannot be completed before
     1 December 1977 as provided for by Artiole 1 of Council Regulations ( EEC ) No
     2453/76 and Ho 2452/76 of 5 October 1976 , as amended by Regulations (EEC ) No
     1330/77 and Wo 1392/77 » this final date must be replaoed by that of 1 July 1978 .
2 . As regards the beef , the reasons for this dele^r in its sale on the Italian
    market can be summarized as follows :
     ( a) Legal and administrative difficulties | the Italian Government had to
          amend the provisions relating to retail sales of frozen beef and , in
          two cases , the current prices for the sale to consumers of various cuts
          and presentations of the beef j
     (b ) economic and marketing difficulties ? sale of this meat had to be carried
          out without wholesale agents and the retail butchers are neither organized
          nor equipped to carry out rapidly the operations relating to the financing
          of the purchases , the technical preparation of the frozen meat and its
          marketing in conditions acceptable to consumers .
    In view of the above the Commission has had to amend the regulations implementing
    Regulation ( EEC ) No 2453/76 . It should however be noted that although the
    proposed amendment of this Regulation is due to the fact that the Italian
    authorities will not be able to sell more than 1 000 tonnes per week of this
    meat , it will however only be accepted by the Council provided that no further
    extension is planned . For this reason it is also proposed (Artiole 2 ) that the
    Italian intervention agency should take delivery of all this meat before 1
    January 1978 . In application of this provision it is also stated in the
    implementing regulations which will be presented to the Commission shortly
    that the Italian intervention agency . should take over all this meat at the
    latest by 31 December 1977 •
    Nor can this date be extended for meat already stored in Italy and put at the
    disposal of the Italian intervention agency by the French intervention agency .
    In this implementing provisions referred to above it is provided that this meat
    should be returned to the original intervention agency from 1 January 1978 to
    enable it to be sold immediat&y under the normal rules relating to sales of
    intervention stooks .
 ---pagebreak--- As regards the butter the delay in its sale on the Italian market is due
primarily to difficulties relating to customs and veterinary controls
and to the reoent introduction of the sales of reduced prioe butter for
direot consumption (Christmas butter ) which has reduced the opportunities
for selling a large portion of these stooks under normal conditions .

                 It should "be noted that if the transfer had not taken place , the butter
