of 20 November 1986

introducing a derogation from Regulations (EEC) No 1871/86, (EEC) No 2040/86 and (EEC) No 2096/86 on exemption from the co-responsibility levy on cereals

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1579/86 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
