REGULATION (EEC) No 666/74 OF THE COUNCIL  of 28 March 1974  supplementing Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 as regards the criteria     governing the fixing of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder, for use     as feed
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (1) of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 662/74 (2), and in particular Article 10 (2) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas in accordance with Article 10 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 the amount of aid granted for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed is fixed henceforward in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of the said Regulation ; whereas, therefore, it is necessary to determine the criteria to be considered at the time of fixing these aids and to supplement Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 (3) of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder for use as feed, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1038/72 (4);
Whereas, to determine the amount of the aid in question, account should be taken of the entire protein market, and in particular of the relationship existing between the price of skimmed-milk powder and that of competing nitrates used in feedingstuffs ; whereas both the increase in the use of liquid skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder and price trends on the veal market should also be taken into consideration ; whereas, moreover, an adequately stable amount of aid should be ensured,
