Council Regulation (EEC) No 2153/84 of 24 July 1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 on the transfer of 550 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality by French and German intervention agencies

COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 2153/84
of 24 July 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 on the transfer of 550 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality by French and German intervention agencies
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 (3) provided in particular for the transfer to Italy of 450 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality held by the French intervention agency for disposal by the Italian intervention agency in animal feed before 1 August 1984; whereas, under that Regulation, a quantity of 417 580 tonnes has been sold pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2794/83 of 6 October 1983 on the sale on the internal market of 450 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality held by the Italian intervention agency (4); whereas it has not yet been possible to dispose of a residual quantity of 32 420 tonnes stored in Sicily, chiefly due to its location and the current price conditions fixed by the Regulation in question; whereas it is unlikely that this quantity will be disposed of by 31 July 1984, the time limit laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 for the disposal of the transferred quantities in animal feed;
Whereas, moreover, the circumstances which prompted the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83, that is the need for fodder cereals in certain regions of Italy, will persist in Sicily in the early part of the 1984/85 marketing year; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 should therefore be extended for as long as is necessary to dispose of the quantities concerned; whereas, however, the price conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2794/83 will have to be adapted to the market situation at the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year;
Whereas, for the sake of efficient management, a provision should be introduced whereby quantities remaining unsold when the new time limit expires may be regarded as a wheat stock with no specific use and may therefore subsequently be disposed of under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 of 7 July 1982 laying down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies (5),
