COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1880/94 of 27 July 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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),
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (3) provides for an intervention system for certain types of cheeses; whereas experience has shown that the buying in of such cheeses is not an appropriate means of stabilizing the market, given their  limited preservation time and the absence of disposal opportunities; whereas, however, market stabilization may be achieved through private storage aid for such cheeses;
Whereas account should be taken also of trends in the milk products market and of changes in the intervention systems in force for several years for butter and skimmed-milk powder; whereas the system of buying in in respect of Grana Padano and  Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses should therefore be abolished; whereas general rules concerning the granting of private storage aid should, moreover, be incorporated in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 and to repeal Council Regulation (EEC) No 971/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses  (4),
