COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1634/91 of 13 June 1991 modifying the buying-in arrangements for butter and skimmed-milk powder laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 777/87
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulaiton (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk amd milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1630/91 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 7a (1)  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas Article 7a of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 enables the Commission, until the end of the eighth 12-month period of application of the additional levy arrangements set out in Article 5c of that Regulation, to modify the intervention arrangements for  butter and skimmed-milk powder on the basis of criteria to be adopted by the Council;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 777/87 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (5), sets out the circumstances in which the buying in of butter and skimmed-milk powder can be suspended and subsequently resumed and, where suspension takes place,  the alternative measures that may be taken;
Whereas experience has shown that the conditions in which permanent intervention must be resumed for butter under the arrangements thus introduced can create serious difficulties for the management of the market and that such arrangements, furthermore,  do not make it possible to attain to the extent desired the objectives pursued regarding market regulation; whereas, consequently, the Commission should no longer be required to resume permanent intervention in certain circumstances and the conditions  in which buying-in takes place or not under a tendering procedure should be modified,
