Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 141l/71^ as amended by Regulation
(EEC) NO 566/76^^ the Member States must , as of 1 Ootober 1976,
aPPly to whole milk for human consumption either the formula of
standardized whole milk with a minimum fat content of 3«5$ or the
formula of non-standardized whole milk whose fat content has not
been altered since the milking stage .
Ireland and the United Kingdom have opted for the formula of ?on-
standardized whole milk while the other Member States are maintaining
the formula of standardized whole milk .
Pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC ) No 141l/71 » Ireland and the
United Kingdom must , however, permit the marketing on their territories
of standardized whole milk coming from another Member State if the fat
oontent of such milk is not less than a percentage to be fixed and
corresponds to the weighted average fat content of the whole milk produced
and. marketed in the Member State in question during the previous year
(guideline figure ).
According to the figures supplied to the Commission by the two Member
States concerned , the above-mentioned weighted average is 3»5$ f°r
Ireland and 3«7<$ for the United Kingdom.
It is therefore proposed that the Counoil should, pursuant to Article 3(7)
of Regulation (EEC ) Ho I4II/7I , fix those figures as guideline figures.
