COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1375/92 of 21 May 1992 fixing the threshold prices for certain milk products for the 1992/93 milk year

THE COUNCIL 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), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),

Whereas threshold prices should be fixed so that, taking account of the protection required for the Community processing industry, the prices of imported milk products correspond to the level of the target price for milk; whereas, consequently the threshold price should be fixed on the basis of the target price for milk, taking into account the relationship which should be established between the value of milkfat and that of skimmed milk, as well as the standardized costs and yields for each of the milk products in question; whereas a fixed amount should be included to ensure adequate protection of the Community processing industry,
