COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 780/94 of 7 April 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 on the rules for granting aid to skimmed milk processed into compound feedingstuffs and skimmed-milk powder intended for feed for calves

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 (EC) No 230/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3411/93 (4), the granting of aid for skimmed-milk powder processed into compound feedingstuffs is conditional upon the requirement that the latter contain not less than 50 kg of powder per 100 kg of the finished product;

Whereas paragraph 1a of that Article lays down, however, that the said minimum quantity shall be fixed at 35 kilograms for the period 1 February 1993 to 31 March 1994; whereas the trend on the market in skimmed-milk powder justifies maintaining this derogation until 30 June 1994;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 4 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79, the words 'between 1 February 1993 and 31 March 1994' are replaced by 'between 1 February 1993 and 30 June 1994'.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 April 1994.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 7 April 1994.

For the Commission
