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 July 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2071/90 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (3) and 17 (4) thereof,

Whereas Annex II to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 of 14 September 1981 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 110/92 (4), lays down the maximum terms of validity of export licences with advance fixing of the refund; whereas the situation on the market, in particular for butter and butteroil, makes it necessary to reduce the maximum term of validity of licences for such products in order for the trend in exports over shorter periods;

Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 lays down the securities for import and export licences; whereas in order to take account of the reduction in the term of validity of licences for butter and butteroil, the security for those products should be reduced;
