Regulation (EEC) No 1984/74 of the Commission of 25 July 1974 amending (i) Regulation (EEC) No 2500/73 on the advance fixing of refunds and the period of validity of export licences for milk and milk products and (ii), as regards communications with regard to such products, Regulation (EEC) No 210/69

REGULATION (EEC) No 1984/74 OF THE COMMISSION  of 25 July 1974  amending (i) Regulation (EEC) No 2500/73 on the advance fixing of refunds and the period of validity of export licences for milk and milk products and (ii), as regards communications with regard to such products, Regulation (EEC) No 210/69
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 organization of the market in milk and milk products, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 662/74 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (3), 17 (4) and 28 thereof;
Whereas in the present situation on the market it is uncertain how prices and supplies of certain milk products will develop in the short and medium term ; whereas there seems to be no justification for fixing refunds on certain types of milk powder and on butter a long time in advance except where the products are marketed packaged for retail sale or where it can be proved that the products are covered by a supply contract already concluded ; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2500/73 (3) of 13 September 1973 on the advance fixing of refunds and the period of validity of export licences for milk and milk products, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 876/74 (4), should therefore be amended to make it possible, in particular, to extend the period of validity of export licences for such products ; whereas, if it is to be in a position to follow them closely, the Commission must be rapidly informed of the cases in which such extension is granted ; whereas an appropriate amendment should therefore be made to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 210/69 (5) of 31 January 1969 on communication between Member States and the Commission with regard to milk and milk products, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 73/72 (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
