Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71 as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 566/76^ the Member States have, as from 1 October 1976, applied to whole milk for human consumption either the formula of non-standardized whole mi Ik whose fat content has not been altered since the milking stage (Ireland and the United Kingdom) or the formula of standardized whole milk with a minimum fat content of 3.5% (all other Member States, with the exception of Italy who have made use of the authorization laid down in Article 6(3) of the aforesaid Regulation.

Pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71, Ireland and the United Kingdom must, however, permit the marketing on their territories of standardised whole milk coming from another Member State if the fat content of such milk is not less than a percentage to be fixed for each milk year and corresponds to the weighted average fat content of the whole milk produced and marketed in the Member State In question during the previous year (guideline figure).

According to the figures supplies to the Commission by the two Member States concerned, the above-mentioned weighted average is 3,5?% for Ireland and 3,83^ for the United Kingdom.

It is therefore proposed that the Council should, pursuant to Article 3(7) of Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71, fix those figures as guideline figures for the milk year 1983/1984.    ’    .
