MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND ANIMAL FEEDINGSTUFFS SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR AID UNLESS THE FEED COMPLIES WITH THE CONDITIONS LAID DOWN IN ARTICLE 4 . THAT PROVISION , IN LAYING DOWN MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AS REGARDS THE COMPOSITION AND QUALITY OF THE FEED IN QUESTION , PROVIDES , INTER ALIA , THAT IT MUST BE FEED ' ' WHOSE COMPOSITION IS TYPICAL OF ANIMAL FEEDINGSTUFFS ' ' AND ' ' WHICH CAN BE USED DIRECTLY AS FEED ' ' .
14 IT FOLLOWS THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED REGULATIONS LAY DOWN REQUIREMENTS AS TO QUALITY AND COMPOSITION WHICH ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH IN THE CASE OF FEED WHICH IS UNFIT FOR ANIMAL CONSUMPTION BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A TOXIC SUBSTANCE IN THE PROPORTIONS MENTIONED ABOVE .
15 THAT FINDING IS IN AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL LEGISLATION TO WHICH ARTICLE 4 ( 3 ) OF REGULATION NO 990/72 REFERS IN CONNECTION WITH COMPOSITION CONSIDERED ' ' TO BE TYPICAL OF COMPOUND FEEDINGSTUFFS ' ' . IN FACT , THE LEGISLATION IN FORCE IN THE NETHERLANDS AT THE MATERIAL TIME , THAT IS TO SAY ARTICLE 5 ( 1 ) OF THE VERORDENING VEEVOEDER 1970 ( ANIMAL FEED ORDER ) OF THE PRODUKTSCHAP VOOR VEEVOEDER ( PRODUCTION BOARD FOR ANIMAL FEED ), EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED THE ADDITION OF ANY MERCURY TO ANIMAL FEED .
16 CONSEQUENTLY THE ARGUMENT RELATING TO THE ALLEGEDLY AMBIGUOUS WORDING OF THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED .
17 NOR CAN THE ARGUMENT AS TO THE PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM OF AIDS IN QUESTION BE ACCEPTED . THE FOREGOING CONSIDERATIONS INDICATE THAT ACHIEVING THE AIM OF DISPOSING OF SURPLUS SKIMMED MILK IS NOT , OF ITSELF , SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE CONDITIONS LAID DOWN FOR THE GRANT OF COMMUNITY AID . IT MAY BE SEEN FROM THE WHOLE CORPUS OF THE RELEVANT RULES AND IN PARTICULAR FROM THE SECOND AND THIRD RECITALS IN THE PREAMBLE TO REGULATION NO 986/68 THAT THE PURPOSE OF THOSE RULES IS NOT SOLELY THE MARKETING OF A PRODUCT AND THE RELIEF OF THE MARKET IN MILK BUT ALSO THE EMPLOYMENT OF THE PRODUCT FOR USEFUL ECONOMIC ENDS , THAT IS TO SAY TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO BREEDERS COMPOUND FEED WHICH IS RICH IN HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN AND IS REASONABLY PRICED .
18 THE APPLICANT ALSO CONTENDS THAT BY VIRTUE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED REGULATIONS THE DENATURING OF SKIMMED MILK , WHICH IS PROVIDED FOR AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ITS USE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND FEED , IS SUFFICIENT , OF ITSELF , TO GIVE RISE TO THE ENTITLEMENT TO AID ON THE GROUND THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE DENATURED MILK ALSO TO BE CAPABLE OF USE IN THE FEEDING OF ANIMALS . THE APPLICANT DEDUCES FROM THAT THAT IF OTHER CONDITIONS WERE TO BE IMPOSED IN RESPECT OF THE MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND FEED THAT WOULD LEAD TO AN UNACCEPTABLE DIFFERENCE IN TREATMENT AS BETWEEN DENATURED MILK AND MILK USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND FEED .
19 IN THAT CONNECTION IT MUST BE STATED THAT ARTICLE 2 ( 5
