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 1298/85 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1096/85 (4), specifies that compound feedingstuffs must, for the purposes of that Regulation, be packed in bags containing not more than 50 kilograms; whereas experience has shown that it is advisable to use packagings or containers other than bags in certain cases; whereas a provision should therefore be adopted to that effect;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2

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