# The Reporting of Prices of Milk Products (Wales) Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Reporting of Prices of Milk Products (Wales) Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”) which made provision in Wales for the implementation of article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2005 (OJ No L95, 14.4.2005, p.11) laying down rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards communications between the Member States and the Commission in the milk and milk products sector as amended from time to time.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2005 was repealed from 1 August 2010 and replaced by Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 laying down rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards Member States notifications to the Commission in the milk and milk products sector as amended from time to time. Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 was repealed from 1 July 2008 and replaced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
These Regulations require milk processors to provide the Welsh Ministers with such information relating to the prices of certain milk products, as they may require by notice (regulation 3). Failure to comply with such a requirement is an offence punishable on summary conviction by a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale (regulation 4).
A full regulatory impact assessment on the effect on the costs of business was prepared in respect of the 2005 Regulations and copies of this can be obtained from the Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ. A further full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
