Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 987/68 [3], as amended by the 1972 Act of Accession, is aimed at promoting milk proteins by widening their use; whereas the situation on the market for milk and milk products can be such as to cause casein and caseinates to be used as raw materials in the manufacture of certain products in a way which is inconsistent with the aims of the Regulation; whereas, in that case, the Commission should be authorized to take whatever measures are appropriate;
Whereas account should be taken of the possible effects of these measures on the situation of the market and of enterprises; whereas, moreover, a thorough examination of the consequences of the measures taken should be carried out after a 12-month period in order to decide whether or not they should be extended,
The following paragraph is added to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 987/68 :
"4. If the market situation so dictates, the granting of aid may be restricted to casein and caseinates for specific uses. Uses may be excluded only where payment of the aid is economically or technologically unnecessary or where it would lead to distortion of competition.
This measure shall apply until 31 December 1989. The Council shall decide before 30 November 1989 on whether or not it should extend the measure on the basis of a report from the Commission on its impact.
The report shall in particular consider whether the measure has led to unfair competition between Community-produced casein and imports from third countries of non-milk proteins."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.
