of 30 October 1985
amending Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 as regards the time limit for the submission of proof of the quantities of butter processed
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 Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas Article 22 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 of 12 February 1979 on the sale of butter at reduced prices for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2072/85 (4), lays down that the processing securities shall be forfeited in proportion to the quantities for which the proof has not been produced within 18 months; whereas it has emerged that a penalty for failure to produce the proof corresponding to the total loss of the security after expiry of a period of 18 months is not indispensible for ensuring compliance with the rules; whereas the application thereof should therefore be made more flexible; whereas, moreover, the new provision should be made applicable in cases where the securities have not yet been deemed definitively forfeit;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
