***** COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3005/85 of 29 October 1985 amending for the 10th time Regulation (EEC) No 1371/84 laying down detailed rules for the application of the additional levy referred to in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in the milk and milk products sector 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 1298/85 (2), and in particular Article 5c (7) thereof, Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1371/84 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1043/85 (4), laid down detailed rules for the application of the additional levy referred to in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68; Whereas the Community reserve referred to in Article 5c (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 was raised by Council Regulations (EEC) No 1298/85 and (EEC) No 1306/85 (5) to 393 000 tonnes for the period 2 April 1984 to 31 March 1985 and the period 1 April 1985 to 31 March 1986; whereas the distribution of this Community reserve for each of the two 12-month periods should be ensured; whereas, in view of the objectives set for the allocation of these quantities and of the characteristics of dairy production in Ireland, an additional 58 000 tonnes should be allocated to that Member State for the period 2 April 1984 to 31 March 1985; whereas the situation referred to in connection with the distribution of the Community reserve for the first 12-month period has remained unchanged; whereas the quantities allocated for the second 12-month period should remain unchanged; Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 (6) have enabled the guaranteed global quantities to be adapted provided the total of the two quantities is not exceeded; whereas, following such adaptations, one of the two original guaranteed global quantities will be increased; whereas the additional quantities in question should either be allocated to the producers referred to in paragraph 5 or, as the case may be, paragraph 6 of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1371/84 or, where necessary be added to the reserve referred to in Article 5 or 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84, as the case may be; Whereas, under Regulation (EEC) No 857/84, the definition of 'producer' was extended, under formula A, to producers' groups and their associations to which the 100 % levy rate is applicable as for formula B; whereas, at the same time, application to producers' groups and their associations of the penalty for exceeding the average fat content by more than 0,6 grams provided for in Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1371/84 for formula B is justified; Whereas Articles 12 and 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 1371/84 set time limits for payment to the competent agency of any levy amount due at the end of each 12-month period; whereas in view of administrative problems in several Member States authorization should be given for the levy for the first 12-month period to be collected up to 15 November 1985; Whereas, by Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84, the Council has authorized annual payment of the levy, with retention of compulsory half-yearly declarations; whereas appropriate action must be taken in respect of implementing procedures; whereas it should be stipulated also that for producer's groups and their associations the accounts be kept for each of their members by these groups and associations; Whereas the milk marketing year 1985/86 began on 27 May 1985; whereas two target prices therefore apply for the calculation of the levy for the period 1 April 1985 to 31 March 1986; whereas for purposes of simplification only the target price valid on the last day of the 12-month period concerned should be used; 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 Regulation (EEC) No 1371/84 is hereby amended as follows: 1. Article 1 is replaced by the following: 'Article 1 For each of the two periods 2 April 1984 to 31 March 1985 and 1 April 1985 to 31 March 1986, the Community reserve referred to in Article 5c (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be distributed as follows: - Ireland: 303 000 tonnes - Luxembourg: 25 000 tonnes - United Kingdom (for the region of Northern Ireland): 65 000 tonnes' 2.
