COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2338/79  of 24 October 1979  amending for the fifth time Regulation (EEC) No 2793/77 on detailed rules of application for granting special aid for skimmed milk for use as feed for animals other than young calves
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 Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2793/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1438/79 (4), fixes inter alia the level of special aid for skimmed milk for use as feed for animals other than young calves ; whereas, in view of market developments, both the amount of the aid and the maximum selling price of skimmed milk applied by dairies should be adjusted;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (2) of that Regulation, the minimum quantity of skimmed milk delivered to mixed farms and not qualifying for special aid may be determined on the basis of the quantity of milk delivered to the dairy by the farmer concerned where that farmer has undertaken to keep only calves from his dairy cows;
Whereas it appears reasonable, nevertheless, to allow such farmers to replace by a calf purchased elsewhere a calf from one of his cows which has died before the age of four months;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
