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 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 2234/88 (5) introduced a co-responsibility levy due, in principle, on all milk delivered to dairies and on certain farm sales of milk products;
Whereas pursuant to Article 5c of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 763/89 (7), the additional levy scheme was extended from five to eight consecutive 12-month periods; whereas it was also decided to renew the co-responsibility levy at the rate of 2 % with effect from 1 July 1988; whereas it would, therefore, appear appropriate to ease the burden of the co-responsibility levy on small producers,
