COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2065/76 of 20 August 1976 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 concerning special arrangements for the payment of aid for skimmed-milk powder denatured or processed into compound feedingstuffs in the territory of another Member State

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 organizaion of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 559/76 (2), and in particular Articles 10 (3) and 28 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1530/76 (4), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 3 (1) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 of 2 July 1976 concerning special arrangements for the payment of aid for skimmed-milk powder denatured or processed into compound feedingstuffs in the territory of another Member State (5), provides for the aid to be paid for skimmed-milk powder ; whereas it appears that this product is frequently incorporated into another product before being dispatched to the Member State where it is to be denatured ; whereas it therefore seems appropriate to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 so as to provide for the practice, while at the same time adapting accordingly the arrangements for customs control;

Whereas, in order to regularize as necessary operations effected since the said Regulation entered into force, it seems appropriate to give the provisions contained in this Regulation a certain retrospective effect;

Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 provides that proof of control of the products in question by the Member State of destination shall be provided by production of the control copy referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2315/69 ; whereas Article 11 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1380/75 of 29 May 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of monetary compensatory amounts (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1577/76 (7), stipulates that the payment by the exporting Member State of the monetary compensatory amount shall be conditional upon production of certain proof, and that such proof shall be furnished by production of the control copy specified in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2315/69 ; whereas, in the interests of simplification it should be provided that both matters may be proven by production of a single control copy;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

However, in the case of skimmed-milk powder incorporated in another product and exported to Italy between 15 July 1976 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the aid shall be payable in respect of the skimmed-milk powder concerned, provided that the applicant can produce proof that the provisions governing the payment of such aid were fulfilled.
