COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 820/86

of 20 March 1986

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2213/76 on the sale of skimmed-milk powder from public storage

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 organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with Article 2 (1) (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2213/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2610/85 (4), the skimmed-milk powder must be sold in quantities of not less than 10 tonnes; whereas experience has shown that a minimum quantity of 10 tonnes is too high for scientific institutes and for charities; whereas provision should therefore be made for a minimum quantity of one tonne;

Whereas, in the light of the situation on the market in skimmed-milk powder, the increment applicable to the price at which skimmed-milk powder stored by intervention agencies is sold should be increased from 1,50 to 3 ECU per 100 kg;

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:

1. In Article 2 (1) (a), '1,50 ECU per 100 kg' is replaced by '3 ECU per 100 kg'.
