  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations further amend the Scottish Milk Marketing Scheme 1933, the Aberdeen and District Milk Marketing Scheme 1984 and the North of Scotland Milk Marketing Scheme 1934.\nFollowing the European Court’s judgment of 2nd December 1986 in Case 23/84, the Regulations further implement the United Kingdom’s obligation to supervise compliance with Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1422/78 concerning the granting of certain special rights to milk producer organisations in the United Kingdom, by—\n(a) requiring that prices negotiated by the respective Joint Committees, appointed by the Milk Marketing Boards (“the Boards”) and the dairy trade, according to the uses of any constituent of whole milk shall be set at the same level for all uses which qualify that constituent, or any milk product derived therefrom, for sale to the Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce or for a Community aid scheme (regulations 2(b), 3(b) and 4(b));\n(b) prohibiting the differentiation of prices of milk to be sold by the Boards by reason only that the milk or any milk product derived therefrom is intended for export outside the United Kingdom or for sale to the Intervention Board (regulations 2(c), 3(c) and 4(c));\n(c) prohibiting the setting of prices of milk sold by the Boards at levels which would contravene Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1422/78 or Article 6.2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1565/79 and requiring that, in the event of a contravention or other failure to comply with the Community provisions referred to in Article 10 of Regulation 1422/78, the Boards shall make such adjustment in their arrangements for milk sold or to be sold as shall satisfy the Secretary of State that the effect of such contravention or failure has been counteracted (regulations 2(e), 3(e) and 4(e)).",
