COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3987/86
of 23 December 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 on the sale of intervention butter intended for incorporation in compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3790/85 (2), and in particular Article 7a thereof,
Whereas Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3361/86 (4), makes the transport of premixtures made from butter subject to compliance with certain conditions; whereas such conditions are not required for the transport of premixtures made from concentrated butter; whereas, in both instances, the security is only released when the premixture has been incorporated in the compound feedingstuffs; whereas it therefore seems desirable to treat the transport of premixtures made from butter or concentrated butter in the same way;
Whereas a material error in the text of the second subparagraph of Article 9 (2) should be corrected;
Whereas Article 15a of Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 lays down, amongst the conditions on the denaturing of butter, maximum proportions for the incorporation of such butter to attain a minimum free fatty acid content which ensures that denaturing is irreversible; whereas, whilst still maintaining the abovementioned minimum content, it seems appropriate, in order to make this disposal measure more effective, to increase the proportion with respect to the butter to be denatured;
Whereas it has become apparent that there is a need to specify, under the supervisory measures, that the free fatty acid content of the finished product should be established according to the quantity manufactured from the entire quantity of the purchased butter;
Whereas Article 24 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 lays down that the butter is to be removed within 24 days of the closing date for the submission of tenders; whereas, at the end of the first round of tenders, experience shows that this period should be extended to 36 days;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
