THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic  and Social Committee  (3), Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77  (4), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 1338/86  (5), introduced a co-responsibility levy to apply until the end of the 1986/87  milk year and covering, in principle, all milk supplied to dairies and certain sales of milk  products at the farm; Whereas this levy was designed to establish a better balance on the milk  market by creating a more direct link between production and outlets for milk products while taking  account of the importance of the interests of the public; whereas the information and forecasts  currently available indicate that the aforesaid aims will probably not be reached at the end of the  period provided for; whereas it is therefore necessary, on the one hand, to extend the application  of the said levy for the 1987/88 milk year and, on the other hand, to fix the rate of the levy for  the said milk year at 2  % of the target price for milk,
