on the transfer to the Italian intervention agency of skimmed-milk powder held by the intervention agencies of other Member States
THE COUNCIL 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 1183/82 (2), and in particular Article 7 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (4), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas there are large stocks of skimmed-milk powder on the Community market; whereas these stocks are mainly held by Member States other than Italy which possesses no such stocks because of the particular nature of its milk production;
Whereas, in contrast to the Member States concerned, which are encountering difficulties in marketing their surpluses of skimmed-milk powder, Italy is experiencing supply difficulties in regard to the said product; whereas, having regard to the present economic situation in Italy, part of the stocks of skimmed-milk powder which are held in intervention in other Member States should be made available to the Italian intervention agency; whereas this skimmed-milk powder is intended for sale on the Italian market for use in feed for pigs and poultry in order to help stabilize prices somewhat;
Whereas provision should be made for this operation to be taken into account in accordance with the arrangements provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1262/82 (6),
