Whereas point 2 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 368/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2407/86 (4), specifies the formulae to be used for the denaturing of skimmed-milk powder in the case of direct incorporation in animal feed; whereas, in the light of experience gained in the application of these formulae, a new formula should be introduced; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 368/77 should therefore be amended;
