Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (1) of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 740/75 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof;

Whereas, for the purposes of granting aid, buttermilk and buttermilk powder for use as feed are assimilated in the second subparagraph of Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 to skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder ; whereas, under Article 2 (1) (b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 (3) of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 472/75 (4), aid may also be granted for skimmed milk which has been used as feed on the farms where it was produced;
