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 1557/84 (2), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,

Whereas the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 368/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1069/84 (4), lays down the formulae which may be used for the denaturing of skimmed-milk powder; whereas Commission Directive 83/615/EEC of 29 November 1983 amending the Annexes to Council Directive 70/524/EEC concerning additives in feedingstuffs (5), replaced, with effect from 1 September 1984, the limits for copper which may be used in feedingstuffs for pigs; whereas the quantity of copper required in certain denaturing formulae laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 368/77 should be adapted accordingly;

Whereas Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 368/77 lays down that the denaturing of skimmed-milk powder may take place within four months from the day on which delivery is taken thereof; whereas, however, to take account of the provisions of Directive 83/615/EEC, a provision should be introduced requiring the new minimum quantities of copper to be complied with in respect of all denaturing operations carried out after 1 September 1984;

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