COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 2335/86
of 22 July 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83 relating to the continuing of the import of New Zealand butter into the United Kingdom on special terms
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom, and in particular Article 5 (2) of Protocol No 18 thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1303/85 (2), temporarily authorizes the United Kingdom to import certain quantities of New Zealand butter on special terms until 31 December 1988 and lays down the quantities for 1984, 1985 and 1986;
Whereas, in view of the current situation and the forward estimates for the next few years on the United Kingdom butter market, it is possible to fix, for the 1987 and 1988 calendar years, the quantities of New Zealand butter which may be imported on the special terms laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83;
Whereas, in view of the measures adopted in the milk products sector, the quantities which may be imported in 1987 and 1988 should be reduced in relation to the quantities previously authorized;
Whereas, if the situation of the butter market requires changes to be made in the conditions for intervention, such alterations should affect the price of New Zealand butter marketed within the Community;
Whereas, since Council Regulation (EEC) No 1269/79 of 25 June 1979 on the marketing of reduced-price butter for direct consumption (3) has been repealed by Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 (4), Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83 falls; whereas the said Article should, accordingly, be deleted,
