COMMISSION DECISION of 18 December 1996 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Directive 96/16/EC on statistical surveys of milk and milk products (Text with EEA relevance) (97/80/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 96/16/EC of 19 March 1996 on statistical surveys of milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 3 (2), Article 4 (2) and Article 6 (1) thereof,

Whereas, following the replacement by Directive 96/16/EC of Directive 72/280/EEC, a parallel re-casting of Commission Decision 72/356/EEC of 18 October 1972 laying down implementing provisions for the statistical surveys on milk and milk products (2), as last amended by Decision 86/180/EEC (3), is appropriate as a means of guaranteeing the continuous development of statistics in harmony with prevailing economic conditions;

Whereas experience acquired in applying Decision 72/356/EEC has shown that it is necessary to adopt more detailed explanatory notes concerning the products and tables;

Whereas, with a view to improved integration of Community statistics, it is opportune to look forward to complete coordination with the Prodcom list referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91 of 19 December 1991 on the establishment of a Community survey of industrial production (4);

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics,
