COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2268/84
of 31 July 1984
on special sales of intervention butter for export to various destinations and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76
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 1557/84 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1223/83 of 20 May 1983 on the exchange rates to be applied in agriculture (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 (4), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3521/83 (6), rules that special conditions may be laid down when butter is put on sale for export, in order to take account of the special requirements for such sales and to guarantee that the product is not diverted from its destination;
Whereas the quantities of butter at present in public storage and the likely increase of these quantities in the future are such that the scope for disposal on the markets in a number of third countries should be exploited to the full;
Whereas it seems desirable to make butter in public storage available to operators at a reduced price; whereas action should be taken to ensure that butter sold under this Regulation is not released into free circulation within the Community;
Whereas operators may purchase the butter in question throughout the Community; whereas, therefore, the monetary compensatory amounts should be adjusted on the basis of the selling price of the intervention butter;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the butter is not diverted from its destination, a system of supervision should operate from the time the butter is removed from storage until it has reached its destination in the third country concerned; whereas, for reasons of clarity, it should be noted that the provisions on supervision laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 978/84 (8), are applicable; whereas, moreover, in light of the specific nature of this operation, additional conditions should be introduced;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
