The Milk (Cessation of Production) (Scotland) Scheme 1987
Article 1(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1343/86 (O.J. No. L119, 8.5.86, p.34) amended Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 857/54 (O.J. No. L90, 1.4.84, p.13) by enabling Member States to grant compensation to producers with a milk quota in excess of a level which was to be determined who undertake to surrender at least 50% of that milk quota. Until this amendment was made, producers could only obtain compensation for the surrender of the whole of their milk quota. The level of milk quota referred to above was fixed by Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2133/86 (O.J. No. L187, 9.7.86, p.21) at 250,000 kilogrammes (242,790 litres).
