 ---pagebreak---                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Community market for skim milk powder is characterised by the
existance of important stocks in most Member    States , whereas Italy
has none .
Taking account of this situation of the disposal problems which face
the Member States with surpluses , and faced with the difficulty of
providing skim milk powder for animal feed in Italy , it would seem
opportune to place at the disposal of the Italian autorities a quantity
of 20,000 tonnes of the skim milk powder now available .
Given the particular use for the product and the fact that it has
already been subject to controls on entry into store , this Regulation
also stipulates that it is not necessary to effect new health and quality
controls at the time of the powder 's transfer , so as to facilitate the
operation .

                        COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
on the transfer to the Italian intervention agency of skimmed milk powder
           held by the intervention agencies of other Member States
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 804/ 68 of 27 June 1968 on the
common organization of the market in milk and milk products ( 1 ), as last
amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No      . / 77, and in particular Article 7(A ) thereof ,
Having regard to      Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 729/ 70 of 21 April 1970 on the
financing of the common agricultural policy ( 3 ), as last amended by Regulation
( EEC ) No 2788/ 72 ( 4 ), and in particular Article 3(2 ) thereof .
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas the Community market is characterized by large stocks of skimmed milk
powder ; whereas these stocks are primarily held by certain Member States ,
while Italy possesses no such stocks because of the particular nature of its
mi Ik production ;
Whereas , in contrast to the difficulties in marketing the surpluses in the
Member States concerned , Italy is experiencing supply difficulties ; whereas ,
moreover , having regard to the current economic situation in Italy , it seems
advisable to make available to the Italian intervention agency part of the -
stocks of skimmed milk powder which are held in intervention in other Member
States ; whereas this skimmed milk powder is                 to be sold on the Italian
market in order to help stabilize prices somewhat ;

Whereas , in view of the particular destination of the product and the fact
that the skimmed milk powder in question was subject to health and quality
controls when it was bought in by the supplier intervention agencies , it is
not necessary to subject the product to new quality controls on being
transferred to Italy ; whereas this fact should be mentioned in this
 Regulation so that it can be taken into account when laying down the condi­
tions for the transfer of the skimmed milk powder ;
Whereas the provisions covering the accounting side of this operation should
be determined in accordance with the arrangements laid down in Council
Regulation ( EEC ) No 2306/ 70 of 10 November 1970 on the financing of inter­
vention expenditure in respect of the domestic market in milk and milk
products ( 5 ), as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 496/ 77 ( 6 ) ;
