THE COUNCIL 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 1183/82 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas previous measures authorizing the sale of butter at reduced prices to persons receiving social assistance have proved an effective means of disposing of the Community butter surplus; whereas they have enabled consumers in this category to consume more butter;
Whereas the situation on the Community butter market is such as to justify the repetition of these measures; whereas, however, Community finance for them should be limited,
