of 17 October 1988
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 authorizing the Member States to grant a consumption aid for butter
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the arrangement introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 (3) expires at the end of the 1987/88 milk year; wheras suspension of the aid carries the risk of a rise in consumer prices in certain Member States at a time when butter supplies continue to be in surplus; whereas in order to prevent a drop in butter consumption following an abrupt rise in its price the aid arrangement introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1307/85 should be prolonged,
