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 1183/82 (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Notwithstanding paragraph 1, when the bodies, authorities or establishments designated to receive the contribution referred to in paragraph 1 sell or buy a product at a price which is lower than the combined total of Community and State contributions, the contributions in question shall be proportionally reduced so that they do not exceed the price of the product concerned.'

Article2¶

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 16 September 1982.
