on the sale in the Isle of Man of butter in intervention storage in the United Kingdom
(Only the English text is authentic)
(85/331/EEC)
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 1298/85 (2), and in particular Articles 6 (7) and 28 thereof,
Whereas considerable quantities of butter are held in public storage in the Community, and in particular by the United Kingdom intervention agency; whereas the Isle of Man is a potential outlet for this butter;
Whereas dealers should be permitted to acquire butter from the United Kingdom intervention agency in order to supply it at a reduced price in the Isle of Man for the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs;
Whereas under the legal provisions governing relations between the Community and the Isle of Man, the machinery of the common agricultural policy, including price support, does not apply to the latter; whereas the Isle of Man does not therefore qualify to benefit from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 698/85 (4), providing for the sale of butter at reduced prices for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs in the Community; whereas special provisions should accordingly be introduced;
Whereas the purchase of the butter should be made subject to conditions which ensure that it cannot be diverted to other destinations or uses; whereas, for this reason, the butter should be monitored from the time it is withdrawn from store until it is used for immediate processing in the Isle of Man; whereas, given the special nature of these arrangements, the United Kingdom intervention agency should introduce procedures to provide such monitoring;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
