COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2213/76  of 10 September 1976  on the sale of skimmed-milk powder from public storage
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 559/76 (2), and in particular Articles 7 (5) and 28 thereof,
Whereas large quantities of skimmed-milk powder are currently held in public storage in the Community ; whereas steps should be taken to sell these stocks where outlets for the product exist;
Whereas outlets for skimmed-milk powder held in public storage may appear at short notice ; whereas as a result of the drought, which has caused a fall in the production of skimmed-milk powder, the quantities available on the market may not be sufficient to meet demand ; whereas it is therefore necessary to provide for the purchase of skimmed-milk powder from the intervention agencies ; whereas the price can be fixed by increasing the purchase price for the skimmed-milk powder paid by the intervention agency by an amount which takes into account the market situation and storage costs;
Whereas it is necessary that the Member States inform the Commission of the quantities of skimmed-milk powder sold under this Regulation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
