COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1374/84
of 17 May 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in butter and cream
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 856/84 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 206/84 (4), specifies that when butter is purchased by intervention agencies, the date of entry into store shall be marked on the packaging; whereas experience has shown that application of this provision raises difficulties; whereas the same guarantee as to the date of entry can be obtained by means of compulsory records;
Whereas Article 7 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 specifies that if use of the storage depot nearest the place where the butter is being kept would involve excessively high storage costs, the intervention agency may select another depot; whereas experience has shown that it is necessary for intervention agencies to be able to use other depots within the limits specified in Article 3 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 (5) in order to secure even distribution of butter stocks;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
