(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 326/2012 of 17 April 2012 on the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of national milk quotas fixed for 2011/2012 in Annex IX to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 sets out the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ for the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012 for all Member States. (3) In accordance with Article 25(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 of 30 March 2004 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector, Member States have notified the quantities which have been definitively converted at the request of the producers between individual quotas for deliveries and for direct sales. (4) The total national quotas for all Member States fixed in point 1 of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 72/2009 were increased with 1 %, effective from 1 April 2012, except for Italy whose quota was already increased with 5 %, effective from 1 April 2009. Member States, except Italy, have notified the Commission of the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the additional quota. (5) It is therefore appropriate to establish the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the national quotas applicable for the period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 fixed in Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. (6) Given the fact that the division between direct sales and deliveries is used as a reference basis for controls pursuant to Articles 19 to 21 of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 and for the establishment of the annual questionnaire set out in Annex I to that Regulation, it is appropriate to determine a date of expiry of this Regulation after the last possible date for these controls.
