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 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3879/89(2), and in particular Article 7a (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1889/87(4),
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85(5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2690/89(6), establishes a scheme for the sale at reduced prices of intervention butter intended for direct consumption in the form of concentrated butter; whereas that measure has helped to increase the disposal of intervention butter and to boost the consumption of concentrated butter;
Whereas having regard, on the one hand, to the promotional and commercial action undertaken, which has enabled part of the market in oils and fats to be conquered since the entry into force of the said Regulation and, on the other hand, to the current situation on the market in butter, the scheme provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85 should be continued and supplemented by providing for the possibility of granting aid for concentrated butter obtained from butter or cream originating from the market and intended for direct consumption in the Community;
Whereas, pursutant (SIC! pursuant) to Article 7a (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, special measures may be taken with a view to increasing the possibility of disposing of butter which has not been the subject of purchase by intervention agencies nor of private storage aid and the possibility of disposing of cream; whereas provisions should therefore be laid down to ensure that the butter has not been the subject of the measures provided for in Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas disposal measures may provide for the granting of an aid; whereas to ensure that such aid is established at the level which is strictly necessary and to supervise effectively the quantities concerned, a standing invitation to tender procedure should be used, which will also ensure equal access for interested operators;
Whereas measures should be taken to ensure differentiation at all stages of marketing between concentrated butter disposed of under the terms of this Regulation and other types of butter; whereas, to that end, provisions should be adopted concerning the composition and description of concentrated butter; whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the aims of this Regulation, a time limit for the processing of the butter and the cream into concentrated butter and for packing should be fixed;
Whereas a sufficiently high butterfat content should be laid down;
Whereas a system of checks should be applied to ensure that the concentrated butter is not used for purposes other than those stipulated; whereas in view of the specific character of the operation, particularly in connection with the manufacture of the concentrated butter, provision should be made for the keeping of stock records by the parties concerned; whereas, however, such checks should end at the stage immediately preceding taking-over by the retail sector;
Whereas, as regards the monetary compensatory amounts fixed pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85, account should be taken of the value of the butter or the concentrated butter; whereas, to that end, provision should be made for the application of a coefficient to the monetary compensatory amounts applicable to concentrated butter pursuant to the Commission Regulation fixing the monetary compensatory amounts;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
[F11. An aid shall be granted for concentrated butter produced in an establishment approved in accordance with Article 9 and made from either cream or butter manufactured in the Community, such concentrated butter meeting the specifications in the Annex hereto, provided that in the case of butter, the latter has not been the subject of buying in by intervention agencies [F2] . The concentrated butter shall be intended for direct consumption in the Community. [F3It must meet the requirements of Council Directive 92/46/EEC (7) , notably as regards preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the health marking requirements specified at A in Chapter IV of Annex C of that Directive.] ]
2.For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘direct consumption’ shall mean purchases by consumers for the purposes of final utilization, including those made by hotels, restaurants, hospitals, homes, boarding schools, prisons and all similar establishments for the preparation of food for direct consumption.
3.The aid shall be granted by the Member State on whose territory the cream or butter has been processed into concentrated butter in accordance with the formulae set out in the Annex hereto.

Such checks shall entail taking and analysing samples and shall relate in particular to the conditions of manufacture, to the quantity and composition of the product obtained and to the packs. They shall entail taking samples of concentrated butter from each consignment identified by the serial number of the tender.
These checks shall be accompanied periodically, depending on the quantities processed, by a thorough and random inspection of the records referred to in Article 9 (2) (c) and by verification of compliance with the conditions laid down for the approval of the establishment.

Where the holder of concentrated butter under this Regulation also holds concentrated butter subject to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88(8) and/or Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85, separate stock records shall be kept for the products held by virtue of each of the said Regulations.
3.In order to ensure that the provisions referred to in paragraph 2 are complied with, control operations shall be supplemented by thorough unannounced checking of the commercial documents and stock records of all holders of concentrated butter referred to in that paragraph.
Member States shall notify the Commission at the beginning of each quarter of the retail selling prices for concentrated butter recorded during the preceding quarter.
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 (9) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the products referred to in this Regulation, save as otherwise provided for therein.
With regard to the control measures provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, they shall apply to the products referred to in this Regulation from the beginning of the operations referred to in Article 9 to the time the products are recorded as being taken over by the retail trade.]
