of 23 February 1987

amending Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed

THE COUNCIL 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 1335/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2128/84 (3) amended Articles 2, 2a and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 (4) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1304/85 (5); whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2128/84 was applicable only until the end of the 1985/86 milk marketing year; whereas, accordingly, Articles 2, 2a and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 have, since the start of the 1986/87 milk marketing year, been in force in the form in which they existed prior to the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2128/84; whereas the first subparagraph of Article 2a (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 thus fixes at 54 to 68 ECU per 100 kilograms the band within which aid is fixed for skimmed-milk powder for use as feed; whereas this band should be altered as from the start of the 1986/87 milk marketing year,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
