Article 2 The amount of the increase in the variable compo- nent of the levy on the compound feedingstuff mentioned in Article 1 shall be calculated by multi- plying the levy per tonne of sucrose applicable to the products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 in accordance with Article 15 (5) thereof by the relevant coefficient specified in Article 3.
