REGULATION (EEC) No 1064/69 OF THE COMMISSION  of 10 June 1969  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 (1) of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof;
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 20 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 (2) of 14 April 1969 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in butter and cream, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 880/69, (3) provides that after a sale by tender the successful tenderer shall take delivery of the butter within twelve days of being informed that he has been awarded a contract ; whereas application of this provision has shown that this time limit is too short in practice, since public holidays may intervene ; whereas Sundays and public holidays should therefore be disregarded when the twelve-day period is being calculated;
Whereas, if errors are to be avoided, Article 29 of the Regulation in question should be worded more precisely;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products;
