COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1927/88

of 30 June 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1822/77 as regards collection of the co-responsibility levy in the milk and milk products sector during the 1988/89 milk year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 of 17 May 1977 on a co-responsibility levy and on measures for expanding the markets for milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1894/87 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas the Council has not to date adopted the prices for the 1988/89 marketing year, which commences on 1 July 1988; whereas the price factors determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1915/88 (3) should accordingly be taken into account for the calculation in order to ensure that the import arrangements continue to operate in the sector concerned;

Whereas the general rate of the co-responsibility levy for the 1988/89 milk year remains fixed at 2 % of the target price for milk, for that milk year and the reduced rate applicable to the first 60 000 kilograms per producer per year in less-favoured areas is therefore, pursuant to Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77, 1,5 % of the target price;

Whereas it is consequently necessary to adjust Articles 2 (1) and 5 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1822/77 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2284/87 (5);

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:

Done at Brussels, 30 June 1988.
