COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2020/88

of 7 July 1988

permitting suppliers of Community food aid to purchase skimmed-milk powder from the intervention agencies and derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2213/76

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 1109/88 (2), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,

Whereas, in view of the situation on the market for skimmed-milk powder, prices are such that it appears difficult to meet food-aid supply requirements; whereas giving suppliers of such food aid the possibility of purchasing intervention powder at the prices fixed in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2213/76 of 10 September 1976 on the sale of skimmed-milk powder from public storage (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1384/88 (4), must result in less pressure on prices accompanying tenders lodged for Community food aid; whereas a derogation should be provided for along such lines from Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2213/76; whereas the Commission is always able to turn down tenders which are too high in terms of the said derogation; whereas it should be specified that the food-aid suppliers concerned are those defined in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 (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:
