 ---pagebreak---                          Explanatory Note
In accordance with the Decisions taken by the Council when the prices
were fixed for the milk year 1977/78 J the Commission now lays down a
special measure involving an additional reduction in the price of "butter
in intervention and under contract for private storage .  This butter is
for direct consumption in view of the Christmas and New Year holidays .
The implementation of this measure presents particular problems in Italy.
In fact , the Italian butter market is characterized on the one hand by
the absence of public stock and quantities under private storage contracts ,
and on the other hand , by an indigenous production which cannot be sold
to intervention and the normal sales/w^ich would be jeopardized by the
admission, under the aforesaid measure , of large supplementary quantities
of butter .  In order to avoid such disturbances on the Italian market
and to avoid discrimination of the Italian consumers with regard to those
of other Member States , it is necessary to provide for the possibility
of subsidizing a corresponding quantity of Italian butter on the same
conditions as the butter referred to in the above-mentioned measure .
