Preamble

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector ¹ , and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 832/2006 ² sets out the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of national reference quantities for the period from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006.

(2) The second subparagraph of Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 as added by Council Regulation (EC) No 1406/2006 provides that for the 2005/2006 period the Commission may adapt the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the national reference quantities at the request of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia. This request had to be submitted to the Commission before 10 October 2006.

(3) Cyprus, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia have submitted in due time a request stating quantities of the national reference quantities to be converted from deliveries to direct sales.

(5) It is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 832/2006.
