COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 382/89
of 15 February 1989
on measures to facilitate the implementation of Council Directive 85/397/EEC on health and animal-health problems affecting intra-Community trade in heat-treated milk
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 of 17 May 1977 on a coresponsibility levy and on measures for expanding the markets in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2234/88 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Council Directive 85/397/EEC (3) provides that certain quality standards should be met by milk which is exported as heat-treated milk; whereas the minimum standards to be met by producers delivering milk are laid down in Annex A, Chapter VI, Section D; whereas the analyses necessary to verify compliance with these minimum standards are not yet carried out in every case; whereas, therefore, it would seem appropriate to assist the laboratories to acquire the necessary equipment;
Whereas the organizations, institutes and producer groups possessing the necessary qualifications and experience should therefore be invited to propose detailed programmes which they themselves would carry out;
Whereas Article 16 of Directive 85/397/EEC requires the Member States to ensure that the provisions of the Directive are implemented by 1 January 1989; whereas equipment purchased on or after 1 October 1988 should be eligible for financing; whereas, as regards other arrangements, the main provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 615/85 (4), taking account of relevant experience, may be repeated in this case;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
