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 (1) of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1253/70 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof;
Whereas Article 8 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 (3) of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules governing measures of intervention on the market in butter and cream, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1075/71 (4) provides that private storage aid shall be conditional on the conclusion of a storage contract with the intervention agency ; whereas the conditions under which the storage contract is to be drawn up are laid down by Article 23 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 (5) of 14 April 1969 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in butter and cream, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 606/71 (6);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1075/71 abolished the requirement originally laid down in Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 985/68, according to which private storage contracts could be concluded by the intervention agency of a Member State only in respect of butter produced in that Member State ; whereas contracts awarded by an intervention agency may now relate to butter manufactured anywhere in the Community ; whereas, therefore, the provisions concerning the conclusion of contracts laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 should be supplemented in order to adapt them to the new conditions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products;
