The Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations 1993
These Regulations revoke and replace the Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations 1991. They implement in the United Kingdom Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3950/92 (OJ No. L405, 31.12.92, p. 1) establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector and Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 536/93 (OJ No. L57, 20.3.93, p. 12) establishing detailed rules for the levy, which consolidate and amend earlier legislation relating to the levy and which are together referred to in these Regulations as “the Community Legislation” (regulation 2). Under the Community legislation, a levy continues to be payable on dairy produce sold by direct sale by a producer or delivered by him wholesale to a dairy business, unless the sales or deliveries are within a reference quantity described in that legislation. The Community legislation establishes the system of what are commonly called “milk quotas” and in these Regulations the term “quota” is used to refer to the reference quantities described in the Community legislation.
