THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 of 28 December 1992 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1560/93 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4 (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 provides that the individual reference quantity is to be increased or established at the duly justified request of producers to take account of changes affecting their deliveries and/or direct sales; whereas the increase or establishment of a reference quantity is subject to a corresponding reduction or cancellation of the other reference quantity which the producer owns;

Whereas such adjustments may not lead to an increase in the sum of the deliveries and direct sales referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 for the Member State concerned; whereas, where the individual reference quantities undergo a definitive change, the quantities referred to in the abovementioned Article 3 must be adjusted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 230/94 (4);

Whereas, in accordance with the third indent of Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 536/93 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 470/94 (6), Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have notified the quantities definitively transferred by virtue of the second subparagraph of Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92; whereas, therefore, the total quantities for those Member States fixed in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 should be adjusted accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
