COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1473/84

of 24 May 1984

derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 as regards the application of annual tariff quotas for certain cheeses from Austria

THE COUNCIL 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 the milk and milk products sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 856/84 (2), and in particular Article 14 (6) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas points (c), (h), (n), (o) and (p) of Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 of 18 December 1979 determining the groups of products and the special provisions for calculating levies on milk and milk products and amending Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 on the Common Customs Tariff (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1206/83 (4), lay down annual tariff quotas for Austria; whereas, with a view to bringing their trade more closely in line with the real requirements of the market, Austria and the Community have agreed to alter some of these quantities for the years 1984 and 1985; whereas, to enable the Community to uphold the commitments already made, a derogation from the provisions relating to the annual tariff quotas allocated to Austria in respect of the cheeses in question should therefore be introduced,
