  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations.)\nThese Regulations, which come into operation on 31st March 2006, amend the Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 (S.R. 2005 No. 70) (“the 2005 Regulations”).\nThe 2005 Regulations implement Council Regulation (EC) No. 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector (O.J. No. L 279, 21.10.2003, p.123) and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 595/2004 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No. 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector (O.J. No. L 94, 31.3.2004, p. 22) (“the Commission Regulation”).\nRegulation 4 corrects an error in regulation 16 of the 2005 Regulations preventing the transfer of quota necessary to cover production taking place before the date of transfer. The amendment provides that such quota may be transferred, but cannot be identified as unused quota.\nRegulations 5 to 7 amend provisions requiring dairy producers and purchasers to provide information to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (“the Department”) by a specified date. The requirement is that the information is sent to the Department on or before that date.\nRegulation 8 corrects an omission in regulation 36 of the 2005 Regulations to penalise purchasers who send inaccurate summaries of production required to be submitted under Article 8(2) of the Commission Regulation. It also provides that the penalty for purchasers who fail to submit a summary as required by Article 8(4) of the Commission Regulation before 1st July in the year in which it is required applies 30 days after the service of a notice by the Department to this effect.",
