COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1630/91 of 13 June 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products
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 Article 5c (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3641/90 (4), sets for each Member State a total quantity of milk and milk equivalent for delivery to undertakings treating or processing milk or other milk  products which may not be greater than the sum of the individual reference quantities;
Whereas the market in milk and milk products is in persistent surplus owing to a reduction in the export outlets available and a steady drop in consumption of certain milk products in the Community; whereas to meet the imperative need of attaining some  degree of balance between supply and demand the abovementioned guaranteed total quantities should be reduced by 2 %; whereas consistency demands that the quantities set for 1991/92 at point (f) in the third subparagraph of Article 5c (3) of Regulation  (EEC) No 804/68 be reduced by 2 % of the basic quantities set under the terms of the second subparagraph of that paragraph; whereas this further reduction must accordingly apply in all Member States, which must all contribute to the effort of solidarity  required;
Whereas the reduction in individual reference quantities which must occur during the period, in particular following the reduction of guaranteed overall quantities, requires the provision relating to the implementation in time of temporary transfers of  reference quantities to be relaxed
for the eighth period of application of the quota arrangements;
Whereas, in order to ensure a certain stability in time of the intervention arrangements established by Article 7a of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in the interest of better management of the market, provision should be made for the said Article to be  applied until the end of the additional levy arrangements,
