Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2006

of 19 April 2006

amending Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the grant of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder intended for animal feed and the sale of such skimmed-milk powder

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products^f1, and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999^f2 fixes the amount of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder intended for animal feed taking into account the factors set out in Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999. In view of the developments in the market price of skimmed-milk powder, of the increase in the market prices for competing proteins, and of the reduction of the supply of skimmed-milk powder, the amount of aid should be reduced.

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(3)

The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
