COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1753/82
of 1 July 1982
amending Regulations (EEC) No 368/77 and (EEC) No 443/77 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2307/79 and (EEC) No 356/80, concerning the sale of skimmed-milk powder for use in feed for pigs and poultry
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 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 7 (5) thereof,
Whereas in the past various special measures to promote the disposal of skimmed-milk powder have been taken in order to deal with a market situation of substantial stocks and few outlets for that product; whereas the Regulations particularly involved are Commission Regulation (EEC) No 368/77 of 23 February 1977 concerning the sale by tender of skimmed-milk powder for use in feed for pigs and poultry (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1726/79 (4), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 443/77 of 2 March 1977 on the sale at a fixed price of skimmed-milk powder for use in feed for pigs and poultry (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1726/79, both of which were adopted to permit the use in feed for animals other than young calves of skimmed-milk powder in public storage that could not be disposed of in the course of a milk marketing year on normal terms;
Whereas, following the drop in stock levels, Regulations (EEC) No 368/77 and (EEC) No 443/77 were suspended by Regulation (EEC) No 2307/79 (6); whereas the present stock situation makes it necessary to bring these Regulations back into force; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2307/79 should therefore be repealed;
Whereas, if the Regulations are to be brought back into force, the date of entry into storage of the skimmed-milk powder that they cover must be updated, as must the dates of publication of the notice of invitation to tender and of the first invitation to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 356/80 (7) introduced certain derogations from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 (8) during the period of suspension of Regulations (EEC) No 368/77 and (EEC) No 443/77; whereas, in view of the re-entry into force of these Regulations, Regulation (EEC) No 356/80 should be repealed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delievered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
