COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 865/84 of 31 March 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for concentrated skimmed milk for use as animal feed
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 856/84 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, when surpluses build up or threaten to build up, measures other than those provided for in Articles 6 to 11 of that Regulation may be taken to facilitate the disposal of milk;
Whereas a major feature of the present situation on the market in milk products is the substantial rise in the quantity of milk collected and consequently the marked increase in milk-product surpluses ; whereas, this being the situation, it should also be made possible for aid to be granted for concentrated skimmed milk intended for use as feed for animals other than calves;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the purpose of this aid scheme, namely that the greatest possible quantity of concentrated skimmed milk be used as animal feed, is attained, payment of the aid should be made conditional on observance of a maximum price when the concentrated skimmed milk is sold by the undertaking that has denatured it;
Whereas, given the purpose of the aid scheme, measures should be taken to ensure that the said product is not deflected from its intended use;
Whereas control requirements indicate that the aid should be paid to the undertaking that denatures the product and that payment should be made conditional on production of evidence that the product has been denatured;
Whereas, for technical administrative reasons, each Member State should designate an intervention agency authorized to implement the provisions of the aid scheme,
