COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3879/89 of 11 December 1989 amending Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the Member States that avail themselves of Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1117/89 (5), may not use the compensation possibilities of Article 4a of that Regulation; whereas the provisions  relating to the temporary grant of reference quantities thus prove to be of use; whereas it is therefore appropriate to relax in this case the requirements relating to the date of execution of such grants during the 12-month period concerned; whereas  temporary grants constitute an exception within the framework of the arrangements; whereas the authorization laid down in this Regulation should be limited to the eighth 12-month period;
Whereas Article 5c (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 763/89 (7), fixes for each Member State the total quantity of milk and milk equivalent delivered to undertakings treating or processing milk or other milk  products in respect of the eight consecutive periods of the additional levy arrangements;

Whereas an examination of the way the additional levy system operates has shown that the situation of certain categories of producers continues to cause concern and the trend in their production for forthcoming years requires further quantities to be  found by means of an increase in
the Community reserve; whereas in order to achieve the objective of production control, it is consequently necessary to reduce the guaranteed total quantities of each Member State as from the sixth period of application of the arrangements,
