1.On 6 October 1969 in order to reduce surplus milk production the Council adopted Regulation No 1975/69 introducing a system of premiums for slaughtering cows and for withholding milk and milk products from the market, detailed rules for the application of which were laid down by Regulation No 2195/69 of the Commission of 4 November 1969. The scheme was ended in 1971 by Regulation No 1290/71 of the Council. It was reintroduced in 1973 and remained in force until 31 December 1974. In 1977, by Regulation No 1078/77 of 17 May 1977 (Official Journal 1977, L 131, p. 1), the Council introduced a new system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and for the conversion of dairy herds. That scheme is still in force.
