                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. Council Regulation (EEC) n* 3841/92 relating to the continued import of
   New Zealand butter into the United Kingdom on special terms was adopted
   on |7 December 1992. It provided for the continuation for 1993 of New
   Zealand butter imports upto a maximum quantity of 51.830 tonnes.
   The Regulation provides that before 1 October 1993, the Council, acting
   unanimously on a proposal from the Commission accompanied by a report,
   must take a decision on the maintenance of the exceptional arrangements
   from 1 January 1994.
   The above mentioned report is herewith submitted to the Council.
2. In light of this report and of the market situation, the Commission
   proposes that the current arrangements should continue for a further year
   while awaiting the outcome of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade
   Negot iat ions.
3. Since the regime foreseen by Article 5 (2) of Protocol 18 is directly
   linked to measures covered by the Common Commercial and Agricultural
   Policy, it must be established at community level.
4. The Council (Agriculture) should adopt this proposal at its December 1993
   meeting at the latest by which time the negotiations with New Zealand on
   the extension until December 1994 of the adaptations to the sheep and
   goatmeat voluntary restraint agreement, which expires on 31 December
   1993, should also be concluded.

I. Introduction
1. Protocol n' 18 attached to the Treaty, concerning the accession of the
   Kingdom of Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
   Northern Ireland to the European Economic Community signed on 22 January
   1972, on the import of New Zealand butter and cheese into the United
   Kingdom authorized the United Kingdom, as a transitional measure, to
   import from New Zealand certain quantities of butter and cheese. The
   Protocol provided for the progressive reduction of quantities. Access for
   cheese under special conditions was terminated on 31 December 1977 while
   access for butter which must be approved unanimously by the Council on
   each occasion has been maintained upto 31 December 1992.
   The annual quantities in tonnes fixed in Protocol n' 18 were:
           Year         Butter          Cheese
           1973         165  111        68 580
           1974         158  902        60 960
           1975         151  994        45 720
           1976         145  084        30 480
           1977         138  176        15 240
   The import of these quantities was conditional on the respect at the CI F
   stage of a minimum import price and benefited from a reduced levy, both
   of which were fixed by the Council. The eligible butter was defined as
   salted butter and was confined to the UK market.
   A GATT quota for 9 500 tonnes of New Zealand Cheddar cheese eligible for
   import into the Community was fixed from 1980, following the Tokyo Round
   of Multilateral Trade Negotiations concluded in 1979.
2. The European Council meeting in Dublin on 10 March 1975 laid down
   guidelines for the maintenance of the arrangements for butter after 1977
   and suggested approximate quantities for the period upto 1980. That
   summit also encouraged closer cooperation between the Community and New
   Zealand with the objective of promoting in their mutual interest an
   orderly operation of world markets. The latter was successfully achieved
   on the establishment   in 1980 of the International Dairy Arrangement
   under the auspices of the GATT.
   In accordance with Article 5 of Protocol n' 18 and with individual
   Articles of successive Council Regulations maintaining these exceptional
   arrangements, the Commission has carried out a number of reviews,
   reported to the Council and accompanied the reports with appropriate
   proposals.
3. The regime established in 1973 was extended for three years by Council
   Regulation (EEC) n* 1655/76 of 29 June 1976 (and again up to the end of
   1983 by Council Regulation (EEC) n* 858/81 of 1 April 1981). However,
   the latter Regulation only established quantities for 1981 and 1982; the
   Council fixed the 1983 quantity in Regulation (EEC) n* 642/83 of 15 March
   1983 at 87.000 tonnes, 2.000 tonnes less than that proposed by the
   Commission. The access for 1984 and following two years was agreed by
   the Council on 14 July 1984.
 ---pagebreak---                                               Page 6
 For the years 1987 and 1988 the Commission submitted its proposals in
 July 1986 but final agreement on the quantities was not reached in the
 Council until July 1987 at 76.500 tonnes for 1987 and 74.500 tonnes for
 1988.
 The volumes for 1989 to 1992 were fixed in Council Regulation (EEC) n*
 2967/89 of 25 September 1989. To avoid any interruption in access during
 the first three quarters of 1989 the Council authorized imports on a
 month by month basis upto the end of September 1989.
 4. The most recent report on these arrangements was presented in COM     (92)
     479 Final of 24 November 1992 together with a Commission proposal    on
     quantities for 1993. The Council approved the proposal following     a
     reduction of 3 170 tonnes in the volume proposed. This reduction     was
     the same as that agreed for 1992:
                 QUANTITIES OF NEW ZEALAND BUTTER ELIGIBLE

     maintain outlets other than the United Kingdom.

5.  The obligation to respect a minimum import price coupled with a reduced
    levy was abolished from 1 April 1981 in favour of a simpler system based
    on a import levy equal to 25% of the intervention price. From 1989
    onwards the levy was reduced to 15% of the intervention price. The import
    levy charged on imports of New Zealand butter on special terms was fixed
    at 12% of the intervention price for 1993.
6.  Council Regulation (EEC) n* 3841/92 obliges the Commission to submit a
    report and a proposal to the Council with a view to taking a decision on
    the maintenance of the exceptional arrangements from 1 January 1994. The
    Council (Agriculture) is requested to take its Decision, by unanimity, at
    the latest, during its December 1993 meeting.
11.  Policy developments since the last report in 1992
7.    In June 1992 the Council approved the maintenance of the additional levy
      in the milk and milk products sector for a further seven consecutive 12
     month periods beginning on 1 April 1993. Agreement on the codified and
     simplified application rules was reached with the approval of Council
     Regulation (EEC) n* 3950/92 of 28 December 1992(1>. The detailed rules
     of application were published in Commission Regulation (EEC)
     n* 536/93(2) 9 March 1993. Following the Commission's report to the
     Council on the market situât ion*3) the Council adopted the deliveries
     and direct sales quotas for each Member State which were published in
     Council Regulation (EEC) n' 1560/93 of 14 June 1993<4). The report on
     the market situation concluded that the situation regarding milk fat gave
     rise to greater concern than that for milk protein and that an attempt to
     remedy the imbalance on the market for milkfat should be given priority
     over applying the 1% reduction to the guaranteed quantities decided in
     principle for the 1993/94 period. Following its examination of the
     market situation, the Council decided to defer any further quota
     reductions and to bring forward part of the reduction in the
      intervention price already decided for 1994/95. The effect of the
     reduction in the intervention price of butter combined with the influence
     of the monetary reduction coefficient was a 4.3% reduction in the butter
      intervention price from 1 July 1993 compared with the prices valid before
     that date.
     At the same time as the quotas for 1993/94 were established, provision
     was made for a programme for the restructuring of milk production in
     Member States. A sum of 40 M ECU was allocated for this purpose.
8.    In New Zealand, the Government has disengaged itself almost entirely from
     control and financial support of the primary sector as part of a general
     change in policy direction beginning in 1984. The New Zealand Government
     does not intervene in any way to fix or influence producer prices.
      In March 1988, the Government announced plans for deregulation of the
     town milk industry. The Milk Act 1988 provided for a 5 year transition
     period to total deregulation. During the transition period, provision
     was made to protect the home delivery service and limit price competition
     at the retail level. The Act expired on 31 March 1993, paving the way
     for total deregulation of the town milk sector.

     The New Zealand Dairy Board (NZDB) established by the Dairy Board Act
     1961, is the single organization responsible for marketing dairy produce
     manufactured for export. The Dairy Board Amendment Act 1992 is chiefly
     notable for the fact that the principle of farmer ownership of the Board,
     through the cooperative dairy companies is now firmly enshrined in law.
     The Board purchases dairy products from dairy companies at standard
     prices reflecting actual or anticipated prices on world markets.
     Farmgate prices paid by dairy companies can vary depending on their
     financial status and relative efficiencies. At times the Board may
     retain some returns from sales for reserves and at others pay out from
     reserves. These are completely independent decisions made by the Board.
III. Developments in the UK market
9.   Since the introduction of the supplementary levy system, milk deliveries
     in the UK fell by almost 2.8 million tonnes and butter production fell by
     about 144 thousand tonnes. Total butter consumption in the same period
     fell by about 89 thousand.
     In 1992 milk deliveries in the UK declined by 0.7% or about 100 000
     tonnes, butter production by 12.5% or by about 14 000 tonnes and butter
     consumption declined by 2% or about 5 000 tonnes. Total butter imports
     increased in 1992 by 20% to about 119 thousand tonnes while total butter
     exports increased by 35% to about 49 thousand tonnes. Butter imports
     from 3rd countries mainly from New Zealand decreased by 21% to about 46
     thousand tonnes and exports to 3rd countries increased by 50% to about
     5 400 tonnes. Butter imports from other Member States in 1992 were 50%
     higher than in 1991, at about 73 500.
     While butter exports to other Member States were 33% higher at about
     43 200 tonnes, the UK trading pattern in 1992 particularly from September
     onwards was mainly influenced by monetary events particularly the
     imminent disappearance of the monetary compensatory system from 1 January
     1993.
     No butter was bought into intervention in 1992 and the intervention
     stocks of butter in the United Kingdom in December 1992 amounted to 9 940
     tonnes. There were no publicly financed private stocks of butter in the
     UK at that date.
     The butter price in Great Britain in 1992 peaked at 93.8% of the
     intervention price in August and fell to about 89% in December.
10.  In the first seven months of 1993, milk deliveries in the UK were 0.7%
     less than during the corresponding months of 1992. The production of
     butter, skimmed milk powder and cheese were about 10%, 19% and 3% higher
     respectively in 1993 than during the corresponding period of 1992. The
     production of whole milk powder was 16% lower in 1993.
     Milk deliveries during the first 4 months of the 1993/94 quota year were
     5.6% below the estimated quota for that period.
     Butter imports into the UK from New Zealand during the 1st seven months
     of 1993 amounted to almost 31 000 tonnes, almost 60% of the 1993 quota.
     Butter exports from the UK to third countries during the first 6 months
     of 1993 at 2 300 tonnes were 28% below the corresponding level in 1992.
 ---pagebreak---                                               HPage 9
    In 1993, 4 732 tonnes of butter were purchased by the UK intervention
    agency upto the end of September 1993, mainly in January, ApriI, May and
    June. About 4 800 tonnes of butter were sold from intervention during
    the first 8 months of 1993 mainly for use in the pastry and ice cream
    manufacturing sectors.
    The butter price in Great Britain in 1993 was about 88% of the
    intervention price of 292.78 ECU/100kg upto 1 July, prices were around
    91% of the intervention price of 280.33 ECU/100kg in September 1993.
    With milk deliveries below quota in 1993/94 by about 6% following the
    peak production months milk supplies are likely to show an increase on
    the previous year's levels for the    remainder of the year with
    consequent increases in butter and skimmed milk powder production.
11. Following the substantial changes which have taken place in the sterling
    exchange rate, wholesale prices of butter on the UK market have changed
    significantly in 1992 and in 1993. The price of UK produced bulk butter
     increased from about UK £2100/tonne in September 1992 to about UK
    £2450/tonne in April 1993 before falling back to about UK £2250/tonne in
    September 1993. The trend in the wholesale prices of small packs of
    butter (250gr) fol lowed that for bulk butter upto April 1993 and then
    plateaued at the higher level. In summary, the wholesale price of bulk
    butter increased by about £180/tonne in the 12 months to August 1993
    while the wholesale price of butter in small packs (250gr) increased by
    about £260/tonne. However, the wholesale price for home produced butter
     in small packs was reduced in September 1993 by UK £90/tonne.
    UK produced butter in small packs was selling at the wholesale stage at
    between £90 and £570/tonne more than New Zealand butter in a similar
    presentation upto September 1993 when the price of home produced produce
    was reduced to match the New Zealand price at the lower end of the range.
    Price trends for butter in small packs (250gr) at the retail level varied
     in direction and in magnitude in the period August 1992 to August 1993.
    The retail price of all butters increased by about 7%, for English butter
     it decreased by about 4% and for New Zealand butter it increased by 9%.
     In August 1992, New Zealand butter was 7% cheaper than English butter and
     in August 1993, New Zealand butter was 6% dearer than English butter.
    The increase in the retail price of non UK supplies is explained in part
    by the eltmination of monetary compensatory amounts. The decrease in the
    retail price of English butter may represent an effort to regain market
    share. It is estimated that UK produced butter occupies a 17% share in
    total consumer purchases of the packet butter market and New Zealand
    butter has a 28% share of that market. Blended butter occupies a 28%
    share of the packet butter market also; this product is made from butter
    of various origins.

IV. Developments In New Zealand
12. As New Zealand producers of milk do not benefit from government support,
    the level of production fluctuates in response to changes in world prices
    for dairy products, the returns from alternative agricultural enterprises
    and the climate. According to the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture
    and Fisheries in its Situation and Outlook for New Zealand Agriculture in
    1993, the number of dairy cows in the herd at the beginning of the
    1993/94 milk year will be about 0.3% more than at the beginning of the
    1992/93 milk year when they were 3.1% up on the previous year.
    Milkfat processed in 1993/94 is expected to increase. The New Zealand
    Dairy Board is suggesting a further 3% increase in total cows milk and a
    2 to 5% increase in milk solids available for processing. The number of
    dairy herds supplying dairies increased in New Zealand from the 1990/91
    milk season to the 1992/93 season by about 6% and the average herd size
    in 1992/93 was about 180 cows.
    The trends indicated in the last report in November 1992 seem to be
    continuing namely out of sheepmeat production into milk production and
    important increases in the number of specialized dairy farms of 100
    hectares or more. In 1992/93 there were 14 230 dairy farms supplying
    dairies in New Zealand.
    The final payout price for the 1992/93 milk year was fixed at 5.65 NZ$/kg
    of milkfat, 8.6% more than the final price for 1991/92 of 5.25 NZ$/kg.
    Dairies tend to supplement this price depending on their level of
    efficiency and other business activities. In 1992 the average farmgate
    price was 5.84 NZ$/kg of milkfat and in 1992/93 it was about 6.23 NZ$/kg.
    The New Zealand Department of Agriculture forecasts a farmgate price for
    1993/94 of 6.80 NZ$/kg milkfat.
    A basic price of 5.50 NZ$ per kg of milkfat was announced in May for the
    1993/94 mi Ik year.
13. Total milk production in New Zealand in the 1992/93 milk year amounted to
    8.2 M tonnes of which about 480 thousand tonnes were used for liquid
    consumption. The fat content of New Zealand milk is about 4.7%.
    Whole milk powder and cheese production in New Zealand are continuing to
    show strong increases. In 1992/93 WMP product ion was almost 13% above
    the 1991/92 level and the increase in cheese production was over 4%.
    Production of butter (including butteroil and prepared fat mixes
    expressed as butter equivalent) in 1992/93 was about 4% less than in the
    previous year. The corresponding percentages for SMP was - 7% while
    casein production was unchanged. In 1993/94 WMP and cheese production
    are expected to increase by upto 13% in both cases.
14. Exports of dairy products account for 12 to 14% of New Zealand's total
    exports. In the year ended June 1992 the percentage was 13.3%; the
    corresponding figure for 1990 and 1991 were 13.6 and 12.8% respectively.
    Butter exports in the years ended June 1989 to June 1992 accounted for
    32.5%, 34.4%, 26.9% and 29.5% respectively of the total value of dairy
    products exported.
 ---pagebreak---                                                Page 11
    During the calendar year 1991, New Zealand butter exports to the UK
    accounted for 32% of New Zealand's total butter exports in volume terms
    and for 49% in value terms. The value of butter exports to the UK
    accounted for 13% of the value of all dairy exports from New Zealand.
    The value of butter exported to the UK accounted for about 1.9% of New
    Zealand's total exports of all products.
    In 1992, New Zealand butter exports to the UK accounted for 44% of tota
    butter exports in volume terms and for 61% in value terms. Butter
    exports to the UK accounted for almost 13% of the value of all dairy
    product exports and for 1.7% of the value of all New Zealand's exports.
V.  Developments in the Community
15. The number of holdings in the Community with dairy cows is declining at
    the rate of about 7% per year or by almost 100.000 per year. The result
    of the December 1991 survey is available for 11 Member States. The
    number of dairy cow holdings in the Community (excluding the former
    German Democratic Republic for which data is not available) in December
    1991, is estimated at 1198 thousand holdings. The decrease in the number
    of holdings in the 1987 to 1989 period was about 6% per year. In the 1989
    to 1991 period the decrease has risen to 7% per year. A continuation of
    this trend would bring the number of holdings with dairy cows in the
    Community to about 1.04 million in December 1993. The average dairy herd
    size in the EC (excluding the former East Germany) in December 1991 was
    18 cows.
    Butter production in the Community in 1992 was 850.000 tonnes below the
    peak production level of over 2.5 million tonnes recorded in 1986. Had
    the considerable reform adopted by the Council in December 1986 not been
     implemented, butter production during the following 6 years, 1987 to
    1992, would have amounted to 15.2 million tonnes instead of the 11.7
    million tonnes actually produced, a decrease of about 580 000 tonnes per
    year.
     In 1992, Community milk deliveries were 1.64 million tonnes lower than in
    1991. The consequence of this on the production of dairy products was a
    decrease in butter production of 161 thousand tonnes, a decrease of
    337 thousand tonnes in SMP production, an increase of 166 thousand tonnes
     in cheese production, a decrease in WMP production of almost 50 thousand
    tonnes, an increase in condensed/evaporated milk production of over 45
    thousand tonnes and an increase in casein production of about 25 thousand
    tonnes. The volume of milk used in the manufacture of fresh products
    (including liquid milk) is increasing at the rate of about 1% per year.
16. Despite the fall in deliveries, milk prices paid to producers in 1992,
    which in a number of important milk producing Member States showed an
     increase on the 1991 levels, were below the peaks reached in 1988/89.

    Intervention purchases of butter in 1992 amounted to 48 350 tonnes and
    there were no purchases of SMP into intervention. The table below
    indicates the intervention purchases in recent years (1,000t) :

    Community exports of dairy products in 1992 in milk equivalent terms
    (excluding casein and fresh products) amounted to almost 14 million
    tonnes or 8% more than in 1991 mainly due to improved exports of SMP and
    condensed milk. However, about 100 000 tonnes of the 390 thousand tonnes
    of SMP was accounted for by food aid and donations to Eastern Europe.
17. In 1993, milk deliveries in the EC for the first 7 months are slightly
    (0.1%) below the corresponding deliveries in 1992, butter and cheese
    production is at the same level, SMP production is up by about 8% and WMP
    production is down by about 4%. However, in the April to July 1993
    period, despite a decrease in deliveries compared with the same period in
    1992 butter production is showing an increase of about 2.5%.
    The average EC butter price in ECU terms has been relatively stable
    through 1993. It has fallen from about 264 ECU/100kg, 90% of the
    intervention price valid upto 30 June 1993, to about 262 ECU/100kg, 93.7%
    of the intervention price valid from 1 July 1993. The SMP price on the
    internal market has fallen from about 115% of the intervention price in
    January 1993 to about 97% of the intervention price in September 1993.
    Small volumes of butter were bought into intervention in 1993; about 500
    tonnes/week in September. In August, about 11 000 tonnes of SMP were
    bought into intervention.

    Exports of dairy products from the Community in 1993 show positive trends
    for fresh products (+8%), condensed milk (+6%), WMP (+11%), butteroil
    (+22%) and cheese (+15%), when compared with the corresponding data for
    1992. While total exports of butter and SMP are well down on 1993 when
    food aid donations/transactions for 1992 are included, commercial exports
    show a positive trend of 9% in the case of SMP and 30% in the case of
    butter.
18. Butter consumption in the Community in 1992 declined only slightly (0.5%)
    and a decrease of more than 2.5% is forecast for 1993. However, the
    quantities of butter used in the pastry and ice cream sectors in
    particular, may help to reduce the forecast decrease. Almost 40 000
    tonnes more butter (+14%) have been allocated to these industries in the
    January to September 1993 period than in the corresponding period in
    1992.
    The reductions in the aid levels paid on SMP used in animal feed and
    manufacture of casein implemented in late 1992 and early 1993 have led to
    reductions in the volumes of SMP and liquid skim used in these two
    outlets. In the first 7 months of 1993 aid was requested on 21% less SMP
    and on 34% less skimmed milk than in the corresponding period in 1992.
19. In conclusion, the Community's dairy products market is in balance but
    worrying signs are beginning to emerge. Deliveries in the Community are,
    for the first 4 months of the quota year, 7% below quota (4% if the
    former German Democratic Republic is excluded). Butter production is
    increasing and uptake of skimmed milk with subsidies is declining.
    Purchases of SMP into intervention were recorded in August and the price
    of SMP declined sharply in 1993. Producers can be expected to reach
    their quotas with consequences for butter and SMP production increases.
VI. World Market Situation
20. The main influences on the world market are the supply and demand
    situation in Central and Eastern countries and in the Former Soviet
    Union, the supply and export subsidy situation in the USA, the value of
    the US$, the supply situation in Australia and New Zealand, the supply
    and subsidy situation in the EC and the level of oil prices and their
     influence on the demand for dairy products in oil supplying countries.
    While the world market is influenced by the GATT-lnternationaI Dairy
    Arrangement, the absence of dairy trading nations like Austria, Canada
    and the United States dilute its influence. World market prices for
    butter and butteroil have been at or close to the GATT minimum of 1350
    and 1625 US$/t, respectively for almost one year. SMP and WMP prices
    which were very strong in 1992 and upto August 1993 have fallen sharply
    since August. The prices are still well above the GATT minima however.
    Cheese prices have remained firm.
    The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations forecast a
    decline of 1.1% in total world milk production in 1993 to 508 million
    tonnes. The trend in developing countries remains positive with a 2.5%
     increase forecast for 1993. It remains negative for developed countries
    with a - 2 . 7 % decrease forecast for 1993.
 ---pagebreak---                                                 Page 14
      The OECD is forecasting a slight increase in milk production in its group
      of countries for 1993 (+0.4%) with increases forecast for the US (+1.6%),
      Australia (+7.5%), New Zealand (+2%) and Japan (+2.8%).
      The GATT secretariat estimates that world milk production in 1992
      amounted to 513 million tonnes (incl. sheep, goat and buffalo milk) 2.5%
      below the 1991 level. Cows milk production declined by about 3% to 450
      million tonnes. Production continued to decline sharply in Central and
      Eastern Europe as well as in the Baltic Republics and other former Soviet
      Union republics. Production declined in the EC, in Nordic countries and
      in Canada. In contrast milk production in New Zealand reached record
      levels. Production also rose in Australia and in the United States.
      Output rose in general in developing countries particularly in India and
      China and in some Latin American countries.
      In 1993, world milk production is expected by the GATT Secretariat to
      fall by a further 1 to 2% but increased supplemental feeding should
      contribute to production exceeding 1992 levels in Australia and New
      Zealand. Further increases are expected in the US.
      The Secretariat reports a 2.5% decline in butter and butteroil production
    • in 1992 to 7.03 million tonnes and forecasts a further decline by about
      2% in 1992 to about 6.89 million tonnes.
      World production of SMP decreased by 8% in 1992 to 3.55 million tonnes
      and a further 5% reduction is forecast for 1993. Whole milk powder
      production in 1992 was 2.27 million tonnes - the same level as in 1991.
      World cheese production in 1992 (including curd) increased by 5.5% to
      nearly 15 million tonnes and a further 1% increase is expected in 1993.
      World butter consumption declined by 2% in 1991, the decline continued in
      1992 and a similar trend is expected for 1993.
21.   The lack of buying power in the Former Soviet Union and consequently
      demand for butter led the International Dairy Arrangement participants to
      adopt a derogation from the minimum price for butter and butteroil on 22
      June 1992. The derogation relates to a maximum quantity of butter of
      50 000 tonnes per participant, contracts must be concluded before 31
      December 1993 and imports into the Former Soviet Union must take place by
      31 March 1994. Only Finland, Poland and Hungary reported that contracts
      had been concluded; Finland for 3 OOOt at a price of 1 090 US$/t FOB,
      Hungary for 506 tonnes and Poland for 4 000 tonnes at 1017 US$/t FOB.
      Despite the very substantial reductions in milk deliveries and in the
      production of dairy products in Central and Eastern Europe and in the
      Former Soviet Union, the decline in consumption and the need for hard
      currency has led to export availabilities in these countries at
      compet it ive pr ices.
 ---pagebreak---                                                 Page lb
    In Poland, for example, between 1988 and 1992, milk deliveries fell from
    11.4 to 6.9 million tonnes, -39%. SMP production, in the same period
    fell by only 5% to 150 000 tonnes but reached over 170 000 tonnes in the
    intervening years. Exports of SMP between 1988 and 1992 went from 47 to
    91   thousand    tonnes. Availability of domestic products, food aid
    donations and weak demand in the Former Soviet Union in 1993 have made
    sales of Polish and other country's SMP more difficult resulting in a
    build up of stock in those countries. A consequent downward pressure on
    world market prices resulted as countries sought outlets for their milk
    powders.
22. In the United States the latest estimate by the US Department of
    Agriculture is that SMP and WMP production in 1993 will be 10.8 and 14.5%
    higher than in 1992. The production of SMP in 1993 is estimated at 430
    thousand tonnes and domestic consumption is forecast to drop to 263
    thousand tonnes, -22% leaving an exportable balance of 167 000t. The US
    stocks of butter and SMP at the end of September 1993 were 125 000 and
    8 000 tonnes, respectively.
    Effective from 7 July 1993 the US reduced its butter support price by
    almost 15% and increased the SMP support price by 6.3%. On 13 May 1992
    and on 17 January 1992, similar adjustments were introduced.
    Since the quota system was introduced in the EC, the US support price for
    butter has been reduced by 57% to 1 469 US$ or 1 075 green ECU/t. The EC
    buying in price has been reduced by 21% to 2 523 ECU/t during the same
    period. The US support price for SMP increased by 13.6% during the same
    period to 2 280 US$/t or 1 669 ECU/t. The EC intervention price for SMP
    increased by 2.7% to 1 702 ECU/t during the same period. The US cheese
    support price (Cheddar in 40 pound blocks) decreased by 17% to 2 469
    US$/t or 1 807 ECU/t.
    The support price of manufacturing milk in the 1984 to       1993 period was
    reduced by 20% to 22.27 US$/100kg or 16.30 ECU/100kg of     milk with 3.67%
    butterfat. The target price for all milk with 3.7%         fat content was
    reduced in the Community during the same period by 5% to   26.06 ECU/l00kg.
    Since the support price changes in the US, butter purchases by the
    Commodity Credit Corporation have practically ceased and about 8 000
    tonnes of SMP have been purchased as well as small volumes of cheese.
    Since 29 July 1993 when the CCC began to sell back butter from
    intervention, about 14 000 tonnes have been sold.
    Producer prices for milk in the US fell in July and August but are still
    about 14% above the support price.
    Under the Dairy Export Incentive Programme (DIEP), from 1 January to
    31 August 1993 the US had accepted bids to export 54 200 tonnes of SMP,
    12 100 tonnes of WMP, 4 360 tonnes of butter, 2 740 tonnes of cheese and
    3 220 tonnes of cheese. The subsidies paid in August 1993 were:
    SMP            800 to 998 US$   or   585 to  730 ECU green/t
    WMP          1055  to 1257 US$  or   772 to  920 ECU green/t
    Butter         600 to 740 US$    or  439 to  541 ECU green/t
    Butteroil     1132 to 1205 US$  or   829 to  882 ECU green/t
    Cheese        1200 to 1230 US$   or  878 to  900 ECU green/t
 ---pagebreak---                                                 Page 16
     The significance of the recent support price changes in the US is that
     the butter support price is now only 119 US$/tonne above the GATT minimum
     price. Taking the level of subsidies on export into consideration, US
     products should be competitive on the world market. The US aim is to
     export 205 thousand tonnes of milk powders in 1993, 48 thousand tonnes of
     butter and butteroil and 6 thousand tonnes of cheese.
23.  Currency developments have an impact on the competitiveness of suppliers
     to the world market as they have on demand. In the period August 1992 to
     August 1993, the YEN revalued by between 19 and 50% against the NZ$, the
     Australian $, the ECU and the US$. The US$ weakened against the New
     Zealand $ but revalued by about 7% against the Australian $. The
     commercial ECU devalued against the Australian, New Zealand and US
     dollar. The New Zealand $ revalued by over 30% against the UK . in the
     August 1992 to August 1993 period.
VII. Conclusions
24.  The world market for butter and butteroil has been weak for over one
     year. Despite the substantial reductions in EC butter production the
     weak demand in the Former Soviet Union coupled with increased supplies
     from Oceania, increased commercial exports and food aid donations by the
     US and offers of butter from Eastern Europe have all contributed to
     keeping the butter and butteroil market in a depressed state.
25.  The world market for milk powders is showing some signs of weakness since
      late summer 1993.
26.  New Zealand producers are managing to maintain and even to expand
     production despite the absence of government support and lower prices
     than are enjoyed by producers in other developed countries, including the
     Community. Despite significant diversification in their dairy production
     and sales away from the traditional UK butter market, sales to that
     market still provide an important part, both of their total outlets for
     dairy products and of total New Zealand exports.
27.  The longterm future for New Zealand exports will be critically dependent
     on the terms of the final settlement of the Uruguay Round. This being so
      it does not seem appropriate to conclude a further multiannual extension
     of the Arrangement made under Protocol 18 but to extend the existing
     arrangements for a further year whilst awaiting the outcome of the GATT
     negotiations.

       TEXT OF THE STATEMENT ON NEW ZEALAND DAIRY IMPORTS ISSUED FOLLOWING
               THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL MEETING IN DUBLIN 10 MARCH 1975
The Heads of Government meeting in Council at Dublin the          10th of March,
underlines the importance which they attach to Protocol 18        of the Act of
Accession, as regard the relations of the Community with         New Zealand, a
traditional supplier of dairy products to a substantial part     of the enlarged
Commun i t y.
They invite the Commission to present a report in order to prepare the review
provided for in Article 5 of the Protocol and to submit as soon as practicable
a proposal for the maintenance after 31 December 1977. of special import
arrangements as referred to in that Article. They observed that the
institutions of the Community have already carried out certain price
adjustments in the framework of the Protocol. In the same spirit, the
Community, which remains attached to a fair implementation of the Protocol is
ready to review periodically and if necessary to adjust the prices having
regard to the supply and demand developments in the major producing and
consuming countries of the world, and also to the level and evolution of
prices in the Community - including intervention prices - and in New Zealand,
taking moreover into account cost developments in New Zealand and trends in
freight charges.
As regards the annual quantities to be established by the Community
 institutions in the framework of the special arrangements after 1977, those
should not deprive New Zealand of outlets which are essential for it. Thus
for the period up to 1980, these annual quantities depending upon future
market developments, could remain close to effective deliveries under Protocol
18 in 1974 and the quantities currently envisaged by New Zealand for 1975.
They note that Protocol 18 provides that the exceptional arrangements for the
 import of cheese cannot be maintained after 31 December 1977, and that this
situation and the problems which may arise from it will be given due attention
with appropriate urgency, taking into account also the considerations in the
following paragraph.
The Heads of Government note, moreover, that New Zealand and the Community
together provide the major part of the worlds exports of dairy products.
They, therefore, express the wish that, in the same spirit with which the
Community approaches the application of Protocol           18, an even closer
cooperation be developed between the institutions of the Community and the
New    Zealand authorities with the objective of promoting in their mutual
 interest an orderly operation of world markets. Such a cooperation, apart
from its intrinsic value, should provide a basis from which to achieve, in a
wider framework, the conclusion of an effective world agreement such as that
foreseen in Protocol 18.

OBSERVATIONS :
Le projet de budget pour 1994 a été déjà établi dans l'hypothèse qu'une quantité de
51.830 tonnes de beurre néo-zélandais sera importée à des conditions spéciales pour
l'année civile 1994. (Voir commentaire à la page 111/331 du projet de budget, Vol. 4)
                                                                                             5^

                                  A N N E X E
   Les calculs sont basés sur les hypothèses suivantes :
   a)   Le règlement proposé entre en vigueur le 1er Janvier 1994.
   b)   En appliquant le prélèvement normal, il n'y aurait pas d'importation
        de beurre néo-zélandais.
   c)   En applicant le prélèvement réduit, il y aura des importations
        correspondant à la quantité fixe; il y aura des recettes en
        prélèvement mais, compte tenu de la situation de surplus, il sera
        nécessaire   d'exporter   une    quantité   correspondante    de   beurre
        communautaire.
   d)   Les taux du prélèvement spécial et de la restitution à l'exportation
        s'élèvent respectivement à 338,4 ECU/tonne et à 1.600 ECU/tonne pour
        la période allant jusqu'au 30.06.1994 et, compte tenu de la réduction
        du prix d'intervention pour le beurre à partir du 1.07.1994, à
        331,4 ECU/tonne et à 1.580 ECU/tonne pour la période suivante.
        Ces taux correspondent aux hypothèses déjà retenues au projet de
        budget pour 1994.
