THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1),

Whereas:
|

Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 lays down that buying-in is to be opened at 90 % of the intervention price or suspended by the Commission in a Member State, as appropriate, once it is observed that, for two weeks in succession, the market price in that Member State is below or equal to or above 92 % of the intervention price. |

On the basis of the market prices communicated by the new Member States from 1 May 2004 onwards, the Commission has observed that the prices in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have been below 92 % of the intervention price for two consecutive weeks. Intervention buying-in should therefore be opened in these Member States, |
