amending Regulation (EEC) No 1629/77 laying down detailed rules of application for special intervention measures to support the development of the market in common wheat of bread-making quality

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (2), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,

Whereas Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 provides that special intervention measures may cover qualities of a product other than that for which the reference price is fixed; whereas account should be taken of this by amending accordingly the second sentence of point 3 in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1629/77 (3);

Whereas, following the recent amendments to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77 of 11 July 1977 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking over of cereals by intervention agencies (4) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 of 11 July 1977 on price increases and reductions applicable to intervention in cereals (5), a number of changes are required to the wording of Regulation (EEC) No 1629/77;

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