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,
Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 shall be supplemented by the addition of Article 2a as follows:
"1. Aid shall be fixed taking into account the following factors:    - the intervention price for skimmed-milk powder applicable during the milk year concerned,
- the supply situation as regards skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder and developments in the use thereof as feed,
- trends in veal prices,
- trends in the market prices of competing proteins compared with those of skimmed-milk powder.
2. Aids shall be fixed annually for the following milk year, immediately after the fixing of the intervention price of skimmed-milk powder for the new year, within a margin to be fixed by the Council acting on the proposal of the Commission in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty.
They shall be modified during the milk year only in so far as a considerable change in the factors referred to in paragraph 1 so requires.
3. As far as the milk year 1974/75 is concerned, the aid for skimmed-milk powder shall be between 26 u.a. and 36 u.a. per 100 kg.
For skimmed milk, it shall bear an appropriate relationship to the aid fixed for skimmed-milk powder.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1974.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly     applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 365/2014
of 7 April 2014
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods, hereinafter referred to as the Combined Nomenclature, which is set out in Annex I to that Regulation.
(2) In the interest of legal certainty, it is necessary to clarify the scope of the Combined Nomenclature as regards subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19, which cover ‘egg yolks’.
(3) The expression ‘otherwise preserved’ in the terms of heading 0408 should, for the purposes of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19, cover the use of limited amounts of salt or chemicals for preservation purposes as long as the salt or chemicals do not affect the character of those products. Salt or chemicals should not be used at a level higher than is necessary to achieve the preservation of the products having regard to commonly used production methods for products of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19. In principle, an amount of salt of up to 12 % by weight or minor amounts of other preservation agents do not change the character of egg yolks and can be accepted under subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19.
(4) A new Additional note should therefore be added in Chapter 4 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure its uniform interpretation throughout the Union.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
In Chapter 4 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 the following Additional note 2 is added:
‘2. For the purposes of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19 the following applies:
(i) the products retain the character of egg yolks of subheadings 0408 11 and 0408 19;
(ii) salt or chemicals may not be used at a level higher than is necessary for purposes of preservation.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
