REGULATION (EEC) No 1211/69 OF THE COUNCIL  of 26 June 1969  amending Regulations (EEC) Nos 971/68, 985/68 and 1014/68 as regards the list of storage depots for the storage of Grana padano and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses and of butter and skimmed milk powder
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(1) of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, and in particular Articles 6 (6), 7 (4) and 8 (4) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 971/68 (2) of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in Grana padano and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses, the first subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 (3) of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 750/69, (4) and the first subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1014/68 (5) of 20 July 1968 laying down general rules for the public storage of skimmed milk powder, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 749/69, (6) provide that cheese, butter and skimmed milk powder must be delivered to a storage depot appearing on a list to drawn up ; whereas Article 4 of those Regulations provides that a list of storage depots which may be amended during the milk year, must be drawn up before the beginning of that year in the light of information supplied by Member States;
Whereas, on account of the present surplus of butter and skimmed milk powder in the Community, it is not necessary to draw up a Community list of storage depots ; whereas the intervention agencies are in fact obliged for the most part to choose storage depots on the basis of availability;
Whereas Member States may be left to select the storage depots for the storage of Grana padano and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses;
Whereas, therefore, the measures providing for these lists to be drawn up should be repealed;
