of 25 March 1988

amending Regulations (EEC) No 1105/68 and (EEC) No 1634/85 as regards the amount of aids granted for skimmed milk for use as feed

THE COMMISSION 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 744/88 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas Article 2a of Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 548/87 (4), determines the factors required to fix that aid; whereas paragraph 2 of that Article provides for the possibility of adjusting the aid during a milk year where there is a substantial change in the abovementioned factors;

Whereas there has been a substantial change providing a better balance between supply and demand in the situation of the market for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder since the beginning of the 1987/88 milk year; whereas the level of the aid should therefore be adjusted to take account of that change in particular as regards aid to skimmed milk; whereas Article 1a (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1105/68 of 27 July 1968 on detailed rules for granting aid for skimmed milk for use as feed (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2721/87 (6), and Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1634/85 of 17 June 1985 fixing the amount of the aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed (7) should accordingly be amended;
