COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 355/80 of 14 February 1980 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 as regards certain technical aspects of the new rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder

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 1761/78 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas, in order to ensure, in optimum circumstances, the implementation on 1 March 1980 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3015/79 (4), it has proved necessary to adapt certain technical details laid down in the said Regulation ; whereas, as regards checking the skimmed-milk powder content in compound feedingstuffs, Annex II to the said Regulation permits a maximum difference of only 2 % in absolute value between two tests ; whereas this provision should be temporarily relaxed, pending the devising of more accurate analytical methods than those currently in existence;

Whereas it is necessary to correct here certain material errors which found their way into Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 at the time of its publication in the various languages;

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