COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1856/89

of 20 June 1989

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83 relating to the continuing of the import of New Zealand butter into the United Kingdom on special terms

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 5 (2) of Protocol 18 thereto,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3667/83 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1497/89 (2), gave the United Kingdom temporary authorization to import a quantity of New Zealand butter on special terms during the period from 1 January 1984 to 31 December 1988;

Whereas the Council was unable to agree in good time on new import arrangements for a longer term; whereas, in order to prevent an interruption of the imports, a further temporary authorization was granted for the period from 1 January to 30 June 1989;

Whereas for the same reasons it is appropriate to extend the temporary authorization up to 31 July 1989,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
