## Preamble

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 [^1] , and in particular Articles 10 and 15 thereof,

Whereas:

In view of reduction in the intervention price of skimmed milk powder from 1 July 2005, the amount of aid should be reduced.
