EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Reporting of Prices of Milk Products (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”). They make provision for the enforcement of Article 2 and Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards Member States’ notifications to the Commission in the milk and milk products sector.
Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (O.J. L 160, 26.6.99, p.48) was repealed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (O.J. L 299, 16.11.07, p.1)(1).
The principal Regulations implemented Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2005 (O.J. L 95, 14.4.05, p.11) laying down rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards communications between Member States and the Commission in the milk and milk products sector. Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2005 was repealed and replaced with amendments by said Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010. Those amendments concerned the milk products on which price reporting must take place, and the frequency at which those reports must be made.
Regulation 2(2) updates the references in the principal Regulations in light of changes to the EU law and includes the definition of raw milk in “milk products”. Regulation 2(3) also makes minor amendments to regulation 3 of the principal Regulations to ensure the information is given to Scottish Ministers and at a frequency determined by the Commission Regulation.
These Regulations replace the references in the principal Regulations to the repealed provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2005 with the corresponding references to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010. These Regulations provide these are references to Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 as amended from time to time. Any amendments to Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 will be published on the Europa website, (http://europa.eu/documentation/legislation/index_en.htm). Additionally the Scottish Government will publish relevant information on the Scottish Government website (www.scotland.gov.uk) and updates will be sent to interested parties where considered appropriate.
