The Regulations amend regulation 6 of the principal Regulations to require all purchasers (as defined in the principal Regulations) in Northern Ireland who purchase milk on 1st March 1995 to submit details to the Intervention Board of each producer registered with them on that date by 8th March 1995 (regulation 3).

The Regulations also require bodies corporate in Northern Ireland who cease to act as purchasers on 28th February 1995 to submit to the Intervention Board details of deliveries of milk made to them from 1st April 1994 to 28th February 1995.
