Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 of 17 May 1977 introducing a system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and for the conversion of dairy herds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1270/79 (2), and in particular Article 13 (2) thereof,
