COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2927/84
of 18 October 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 on the sale of butter at reduced prices for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs and Regulations (EEC) No 1932/81 and (EEC) No 2288/84
THE COMMISSION 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 1557/84 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas, according to Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, measures other than those provided for in Article 6 of the said Regulation may be taken to facilitate the disposal of butter where surpluses occur or threaten to occur;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2288/84 (4), provided for the sale at reduced prices of butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs;
Whereas the confectionery products referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 should be more clearly defined;
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1932/81 of 13 July 1981 on the granting of aid for butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2288/84, lays down a time limit of two months for the processing of butter into concentrated butter; whereas experience of the application of this provision shows that an extension of the said time limit to three months can make the system more flexible without reducing its efficiency;
Whereas the second paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2288/84 lays down that the provisions of that Regulation are to apply from a certain date; whereas that provision refers to 'sales' although the term used in the Regulation is 'sale by tender'; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend that provision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
