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 the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 12 (3) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1932/81 of 13 July 1981 on the grant of aid for butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 48/82 (3), intervention agencies are to undertake a standing invitation to tender for aid for butter and concentrated butter;

Whereas Article 7 of the said Regulation lays down that a maximum aid level is to be fixed for the butter and for the concentrated butter and that this is to be differentiated according to the intended use and the fat content of the butter, or that a decision may be taken not to accept any tender; whereas, in the case of concentrated butter, the amount of the processing security must be fixed taking account of the maximum aid level;

Whereas, in the light of the tenders received in response to the 12th individual invitation to tender, the maximum aid should be fixed at the level specified below and the processing security for concentrated butter determined accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
