Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 of 28 December 1992 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1552/95 (2), and in particular Articles 3 (2) and 4 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 provides that the guaranteed total quantities for Austria and Finland may be increased up to a maximum of 180 000 tonnes and 200 000 tonnes to compensate Austrian and Finnish 'SLOM` producers respectively; whereas, in accordance with Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 671/95 on the assignment of specific reference quantities to certain producers of milk and milk products in Austria and Finland (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1390/95 (4), Austria and Finland have notified the quantities concerned for the 1995/96 milk year; whereas the guaranteed total quantities should therefore be increased in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2931/95 (6);
Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 provides that individual reference quantities are to be increased or established at the duly justified request of producers to take account of changes affecting their deliveries and/or direct sales; whereas the increase in or establishment of reference quantities is subject to a corresponding reduction or cancellation of the other reference quantities the producers own;
Whereas these adjustments may not result in an increase, for the Member State concerned, in the sum of quantities delivered or sold direct as referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92; whereas, in the event of definitive changes in individual reference quantities, the quantities fixed in Article 3 of that Regulation are to be adjusted accordingly using the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas, pursuant to the third indent of Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 536/93 laying down detailed rules on the application of the additional levy on milk and milk products (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 82/96 (8), Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland and Netherlands and the United Kingdom have notified the Commission of quantities changed definitively pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92; whereas the total quantities fixed in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 for those Member States should be adjusted accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
