Having regard to Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the  production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products  (1),  as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article  11 (2) thereof,
Whereas the Member States have sent the Commission, pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article  11 (1) of Directive 92/46/EEC, the information they considered appropriate for establishing uniform  criteria for the grant of derogations to certain establishments manufacturing milk-based products;
Whereas, in view of the variety of milk-based products and manufacturing processes, the total  quantity of milk used in a given year by an establishment to manufacture one or more milk-based  products should be taken as a basis; whereas the criteria adopted reflect the limited nature of the  production of an establishment;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the  Standing Veterinary Committee,
The uniform criteria provided for in Article 11 (2) of Directive  92/46/EEC for the grant of derogations from Article 7 (A) (2) and Article 14 (2) of Directive  92/46/EEC to certain establishments manufacturing milk-based products are established in Annex A  hereto.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2677/91  of 9 September 1991  fixing the quantities exceeding normal carry-over stocks in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 of 4 December 1990 on the transitional measures and adjustments required in the agricultural sector as a result of German unification (1), and in particular Article 7 (2) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 provides that any private stock of a product covered by a regulation on a common organization of the market for agricultural products, which is in free circulation in the territory of the former German Democratic  Republic at the date of German unification and which exceeds the quantity which may be regarded as representing a normal carry-over stock must be disposed of by Germany at its own expense;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, the concept of normal carry-over stock must be defined for each product on the basis of the criteria and objectives specific to each market organization;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2676/91 of 9 September 1991 on the stocks of agricultural products held in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic (2) lays down the criteria for determining the quantities exceeding normal stocks;
Whereas a quantity exceeding the normal carry-over stock may be determined for cereals, pigmeat, beef and veal and butter on the basis of a supply balance covering the period between 1 July 1990 and 30 June 1991;
Whereas it seems appropriate to fix the beginning of the supply balance period at the entry into force of the social, monetary and economic union between the two parts of Germany on 1 July 1990; whereas a period covering the 12 months following that  date allows both the upheavals in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic before and after unification and the effects of the adjustment of eastern German production to the conditions of the common agricultural policy to be taken into  account; whereas this period coincides with the marketing year for cereals and pigmeat;
Whereas, the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,
The following quantities of products shall be deemed quantities exceeding a normal carry-over stock as referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90:
cereals falling within CN codes 1001 90,
1002 and 1003: 1 151 000 tonnes
pigmeat falling within CN code 0203: 90 000 tonnes
beef and veal: 158 000 tonnes
butter: 36 000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
