COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2270/91 of 29 July 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 625/78 on detailed rules of application for public storage of skimmed-milk powder
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 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1630/91 (2), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (6) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 625/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 890/91 (4), lays down provisions on the reimbursement of storage costs in the event of the inspection showing that the skimmed-milk powder offered does not comply with the requirements set out in Article 1 (1) of that Regulation; whereas the application of those provisions is coming up against practical difficulties; whereas, as a result, provision should be made for other detailed rules on the subject to better reflect the storage costs actually incurred by the intervention agencies;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
