COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2167/83

of 28 July 1983

laying down detailed rules for the supply of milk and certain milk products to schoolchildren

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 1600/83 (2), and in particular Article 26 (4) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83 (3) laid down general rules for the supply of milk and certain milk products to schoolchildren;

Whereas there is a need for detailed rules, taking account, where possible, of schemes already implemented in some Member States and the experience thus gained; whereas it is necessary inter alia to define the beneficiaries of the scheme in question and the characteristics of the products;

Whereas, in order to take account of problems involving conservation and transport, it would be appropriate, in the case of schools in the French overseas departments, to provide that chocolate-flavoured or flavoured milk for which a subsidy is granted may be reconstituted milk;

Whereas it would be appropriate also to specify the cases in which, under Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83, the quantity of milk distributed daily may exceed 0,25 litre;

Whereas, it is necessary to determine for each product the amount corresponding to 125 % of the target price;

Whereas Member States must ensure that the products in question are not used for a purpose other than that for which they are intended;

Whereas it is essential to specify that the aid is granted in respect of the use of Community products; whereas, moreover, provision should be made, for control purposes, for the products to be purchased in the Member State in which the school is located from approved suppliers in that Member State; whereas, for the same reasons and in view of the purposes of the measure, the commitments to be entered into by suppliers and schools should be determined;

Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1598/77 of 15 July 1977 laying down detailed rules for the sale of milk and certain milk products at reduced prices to schoolchildren (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1440/83 (5), no longer apply; whereas, for reasons of clarity, that Regulation should be expressly repealed;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83 is applicable from 1 August 1983; whereas application of the new detailed rules introduced by this Regulation may cause implementing difficulties in some Member States; whereas Member States should therefore be authorized to derogate from it during the 1983/84 school year;

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:

Article 1

The beneficiaries of the Community aid referred to in Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83 shall be...
