THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 17 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 876/68 of 28 June 1968 laying down general rules for grant- ing export refunds on milk and milk products and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2429/72 (3), and in particular Article 6 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2931/79 of 20 December 1979 on the granting of assistance for the exportation of agricultural products which may benefit from a special import treatment in a third country (4), and in particular Article 1 (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/81 of 17 March 1981 (5) amends the Agreement on price observance and import arrangements annexed to the Agreement of 20 September 1977 between Austria and the European Economic Community concerning certain types of cheese negotiated under Article XXVIII of GATT; whereas, therefore, Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 102/78 of 18 January 1978 laying down special conditions for exports of certain cheeses to Austria (6) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the use of the special certificate provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 102/78 confers an advantage on the exporter; whereas, to ensure that the special certificate is used in Austria only for the purposes for which it was issued in the Community, a stricter customs control procedure should be laid down; whereas the following Regulations should also be amended accordingly:
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1324/68 of 29 August 1968 laying down special conditions for the export of certain cheeses to Switzerland (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3474/80 (8),
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1579/70 of 4 August 1970 laying down special conditions for the export of certain cheeses to Spain (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 166/81 (10), and
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2074/73 of 31 July 1973 establishing the special conditions for the export of processed cheese to Switzerland (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3474/80;
Whereas, since certain cheeses may be exported to the abovementioned non-member countries without a refund, provision should be made for the use of the special certificate in this case, too;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
