COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3950/92
of 28 December 1992
establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 856/84 of 31 March
1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 on the common
organization of the market in milk and milk products (3), an additional
levy scheme was introduced from 2 April 1984 in the said sector;
whereas the purpose of this scheme, introduced for nine years and due to
expire of 31 March 1993, was to reduce the imbalance between supply
and demand on the milk and milk-products market and the resulting
structural surpluses; whereas the scheme remains necessary in the future
in order to achieve a better market balance; whereas it should therefore
continue to be applied for seven further consecutive 12-month periods
starting on 1 April 1993;
Whereas, in order to make full use of the experience gained in this area
and in the interests of simplification and clarification with a view to
ensuring the legal certainty of producers and other parties concerned, the
basic rules of the extended scheme should be laid down in a separate
regulation, their scope and diversity should be reduced and Council
Regulation (EEC) No 2074/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing an additional
levy on the milk and milk-products sector (4), adopted as an interim
measure by the Council, and Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 of 31 March
1984 laying down general rules for the application of the levy referred to
in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in the milk and
milk-products sector (5), should both be repealed, without prejudice to
the obligations and undertakings entered into under the said Regulation;
Whereas the method adopted in 1984, consisting of the application of a
levy to quantities of milk collected or sold for direct consumption above
a certain guarantee threshold, must be maintained; whereas the said
threshold is expressed for each Member State by a guaranteed total
quantity which may not be exceeded by the sum of the individually
allocated quantities for both deliveries and sales for direct consumption;
whereas the quantities are established for the seven periods as from 1
April 1993 and take account of the various factors relating to the scheme
in the past;
Whereas in particular, a Community reserve was created at the start of
the scheme to take account of the difficulties created for certain Member
States by the implementation of a scheme for controlling milk
production; whereas the said reserve had been increased several times
to meet the special needs of certain Member States and certain
producers; whereas in the light of this experience the various parts of
the Community reserve should be incorporated into the guaranteed total
quantities and the reserve be abolished;!B

(EEC) No 817/92 (OJ No L 86, 1. 4. 1992, p. 85).1992R3950 — EN — 01.04.1998 — 008.001 — 2
Whereas the Council has decided, in the context of the reform of the
common agricultural policy, to take a definitive decision on the level of
the total quantities to apply during the first of the two periods of twelve
months, in the light, in particular, of a report on the market situation
which the Commission will present before each of these periods;
Whereas if any of the total guaranteed quantities is overrun, the
consequence for the Member State is that the producers who contributed
to the overrun must pay the levy; whereas the levy on deliveries and sales
for direct consumption should be fixed at 115 % of the target price for
milk; whereas a difference in rates is no longer justified if producers are
placed in a comparable position as regards the calculation of the levy;
Whereas, in order to keep the management of the scheme sufficiently
flexible, provision should be made for individual overruns to be equalled
out over all the individual reference quantities of the same type within
the territory of a Member State; whereas in the case of deliveries, which
constitute nearly all the quantities marketed, the need to ensure that the
levy is fully effective throughout the Community justifies, in principle,
continuing to allow Member States the choice between two methods of
equalling out overruns of individual reference quantities, bearing in mind
the variety of milk production and collection structures; whereas, in this
connection, Member States should be authorized not to reallocate unused
reference quantities at the end of a period, whether nationally or between
purchasers, and to use the amount collected in excess of the levy due for
funding national restructuring programmes and/or to refund it to
producers of certain categories or producers who find themselves in an
exceptional situation;
Whereas, in order to avoid, as in the past, long delays between collection
and payment of the levy, which are incompatible with the scheme’ s
objective, provision should be made for the purchaser, who seems in the
best position to carry out the necessary operations, to be liable for the
levy, and for him to be given the means to collect the levy from the
producers who owe it;
Whereas the individual reference quantity should be defined as the
quantity available, irrespective of any quantities which may have been
transferred temporarily, on 31 March 1993, the expiry date of the nine
initial periods of application of the levy scheme; whereas the principles
or provisions pursuant to which the said quantity must or may be reduced
or increased under the extended scheme should be specified;
Whereas, therefore, under the rules for determining the individual
reference quantities, account should be taken of producers who have
provisionally received a specific quantity under the scheme in the past;
Whereas it has been agreed that application of the arrangements to
control milk production must not jeopardize the restructuring of
agricultural holdings in the territory of the former German Democratic
Republic; whereas the difficulties encountered make it necessary to
extend for a further period the flexibility introduced into those
arrangements for that territory, while ensuring that it remains the sole
beneficiary;
Whereas reference quantities for deliveries and direct sales should be
adapted to reflect economic realities and whereas a producer should
therefore be entitled to have a reference quantity increased or established
where another is reduced or abolished commensurately, on condition that
the request is duly justified by the need to take account of changes in his
marketing requirements;
Whereas experience has shown that that implementation of this scheme
presupposes the existence of a national reserve to accommodate all those
quantities which, for whatever reasons, are not, or are no longer,
allocated individually; whereas a Member State may need to have
reference quantities available to cater for special situations, determined
by objective criteria; whereas it should be authorized, to this end, to top
up its national reserve, especially following a linear reduction in all
reference quantities;!B1992R3950 — EN — 01.04.1998 — 008.001 — 3
Whereas the temporary transfer of parts of individual reference
quantities in Member States which have authorized this has proven to
be an improvement to the scheme; whereas this facility should therefore
be extended to all producers; whereas, however, implementation of this
principle should not stand in the way of further structural change and
adjustment, nor fail to take account of the resulting administrative
difficulties;
Whereas when the additional levy system was brought in in 1984, the
principle was established that when an undertaking was sold, leased or
transferred by inheritance, the corresponding reference quantity was
transferred to the purchaser, tenant or heir; whereas this original decision
should not be changed; whereas, however, national provisions to
safeguard the legitimate interests of the parties should be implemented
in all cases of transfer, where the parties are not in agreement;
Whereas, in order to continue restructuring milk production and
improving the environment, certain derogations to the principle linking
reference quantities to holdings should be extended, and Member States
should be authorized to continue implementing national restructuring
programmes and to organize some degree of mobility for reference
quantities within a given geographical area, on the basis of objective
criteria;
Whereas the purpose of the levy provided for in this Regulation is to
stabilize the market in milk products; whereas the revenue accruing from
this Regulation should therefore be used for financing expenditure in the
milk sector,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For seven new consecutive periods of twelve months commencing on 1
April 1993, an additional levy shall be payable by producers of cow’ s
milk on quantities of milk or milk equivalent delivered to a purchaser or
sold directly for consumption during the 12-month period in question in
excess of a quantity to be determined.
The levy shall be 115 % of the target price for milk.
Article 2
1. The levy shall be payable on all quantities of milk or milk equivalent
marketed during the 12-month period in question in excess of the
relevant quantity referred to in Article 3. It shall be shared between the
producers who contributed to the overrun.
In accordance with a decision of the Member State, the contribution of
producers towards the levy payable shall be established, after the unused
reference quantities have been reallocated or not, either at the level of the
purchaser, in the light of the overrun remaining after unused reference
quantities have been allocated in proportion to the reference quantities of
each producer, or at national level, in the light of the overrun in the
reference quantity of each individual producer.
2. As regards deliveries, before a date and in accordance with detailed
rules to be laid down, the purchaser liable for the levy shall pay to the
competent body of the Member State the amount payable, which he shall
deduct from the price of milk paid to producers who owe the levy or,
failing this, collect by any appropriate means.
Whereas a purchaser replaces in whole or in part one or more purchasers,
the individual reference quantities available to producers shall be taken
into account for the remainder of the twelve-month period in progress,
less quantities already delivered and account being taken of their fat
content. The same provisions shall apply where a producer transfers from
one purchaser to another.!B1992R3950 — EN — 01.04.1998 — 008.001 — 4
Where quantities delivered by a producer exceed his reference quantity,
the purchaser shall be authorized, by way of an advance on the levy
payable, in accordance with detailed rules laid down by the Member
State, to deduct an amount from the price of the milk in respect of any
delivery by that producer in excess of his reference quantity.
3. As regards direct sales, the producer shall pay the levy payable to the
competent body of the Member State before a date and in accordance
with rules to be laid down.
4. Where the levy is payable and the amount collected is greater than
that levy, the Member State may use the excess to finance the measures
referred to in the first indent of Article 8 and/or redistribute it to
producers who fall within priority categories established by the Member
State on the basis of objective criteria to be determined or who are
affected by an exceptional situation resulting from a national provision
unconnected with this scheme.
Article 3
1. The sum of the individual reference quantities of the same type may
not exceed the corresponding total quantities for each Member State.
2.The following total quantities shall be fixed without prejudice to
possible review in the light of the general market situation and particular
conditions existing in certain Member States:
Member State Deliveries Direct sales

tonnes for direct sales in the new Länder .
The increase in the total quantities for Belgium, Denmark, Germany,
France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
shall be granted in order to permit the allocation of additional reference
quantities to:
— producers who, by virtue of the second indent of Article 3a (1) of
Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 (1), had been excluded from allocation
of a special reference quantity,!B

!M6
!M12
!M61992R3950 — EN — 01.04.1998 — 008.001 — 5
— producers situated in the mountain areas as defined in Article 3 (3)
of Directive 75/268/EEC (1) or to the producers referred to in Article
5 of this Regulation or to all producers.
The increase in the total quantity for Portugal shall be granted as a matter
of priority to contribute towards satisfying the requests for additional
reference quantities from producers whose production during the 1990
reference year was substantially affected by exceptional events which
took place during the period 1988 to 1990 or to the producers referred to
in Article 5.
The increase in total quantities of deliveries granted for the period
1993/94 for Greece, Spain and Italy shall be established for Spain and
shall be extended for the period 1994/95 for Greece and Italy. The total
quantity of deliveries for Italy includes a reserve of 347 701 tonnes for
allocation, in so far as necessary and in agreement with the Commission,
of reference quantities to producers who have brought legal proceedings
against a national administration following withdrawal of their reference
quantities and obtain judgment in their favour.
The increase in the total quantities of deliveries granted for the period
1994/95 for Greece and Italy shall be established with effect from
1995/96.
The overall quantity for the Austrian deliveries quota may be increased
to compensate Austrian ‘SLOM’ producers, up to a maximum of
180 000 tonnes, to be allocated in accordance with Community
legislation. This reserve must be non-transferable and used exclusively
on behalf of producers whose right to take up production again will be
affected as a result of accession.
The overall quantity for the Finnish deliveries quota may be increased to
compensate Finnish ‘SLOM’ producers, up to a maximum of
200 000 tonnes, to be allocated in accordance with Community
legislation. This reserve must be non-transferable and used exclusively
on behalf of producers whose right to take up production again will be
affected as a result of accession.
The increase in overall quantities, and the conditions under which the
individual reference quantities provided for in the two preceding
subparagraphs shall be granted, shall be decided upon in accordance
with the procedure referred to in Article 11.
3. When the Council decides to adjust the abovementioned total
quantities to the market situation, the adjustments shall be expressed as a
percentage of the total quantities to be complied with for the preceding
period.
Article 4
1. The individual reference quantity available on the holding shall be
equal to the quantity available on 31 March 1993 and shall be adjusted,
where appropriate, for each of the periods concerned, so that the sum of
the individual reference quantities of the same type does not exceed the
corresponding global quantities referred to in Article 3, taking account of
any reductions made for allocation to the national reserve provided for in
Article 5.!M6
(1) OJ No L 128, 19. 5. 1975, p. 1.!M2
!B1992R3950 — EN — 01.04.1998 — 008.001 — 6
However, for Austria and Finland, the date of 31 March 1993 shall be
replaced by that of 31 March 1995 and for Sweden by that of 31 March
1996.
2. Individual reference quantities shall be increased or established at
the duly justified request of producers to take account of changes
affecting their deliveries and/or direct sales. The increase or establish-
ment of such a reference quantity shall be subject to a corresponding
reduction or cancellation of the other reference quantity the producer
owns. Such adjustments may not lead to an increase in the sum of the
deliveries and direct sales referred to in Article 3 for the Member State
concerned.
Where the individual reference quantities undergo a definitive change,
the quantities referred to in Article 3 shall be adjusted in accordance with
the procedure laid down in Article 11.
3. If a producer who has provisionally received a specific individual
reference quantity pursuant to the last subparagraph of Article 3a(1) of
Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 can prove before 1 July 1993 to the
satisfaction of the competent authority that he has actually resumed sales
and/or deliveries and that his direct sales and/or his deliveries have in the
course of the preceding twelve months reached a level equal to or higher
than 80 % of the provisional reference quantity, the specific reference
quantity shall be allocated definitively to him. Otherwise, the reference
quantity definitively allocated shall be equal to the quantity actually
delivered or sold direct.
Actual deliveries and/or direct sales shall be determined in the light of
the trend in production on the producer’s holding, seasonal conditions
and any exceptional circumstances.
4. In the case of agricultural holdings situated in the territory of the
former German Democratic Republic, the reference quantity may be
allocated provisionally for the period from 1 April 1993 to 31 March
1994, provided that the quantity thus allocated is not modified during
that period.
However, in order to complete the restructuring of the said holdings, the
first subparagraph shall continue to apply until the end of the period
1997/98.
With a view to the definitive solution of the difficulties stemming from
restructuring as referred to above, the application of the first
subparagraph shall be extended for two 12-month periods from the
expiry of the period referred to in the second subparagraph.
Article 5
Within the quantities referred to in Article 3, the Member State may
replenish the national reserve following an across-the-board reduction in
all the individual reference quantities in order to grant additional or
specific quantities to producers determined in accordance with objective
criteria agreed with the Commission, without prejudice to the provisions
of the second and third subparagraphs of Article 3 (2).
Without prejudice to Article 6 (1), reference quantities available to
producers who have not marketed milk or other milk products for one of
the twelve-month periods shall be allocated to the national reserve and
may be reallocated in accordance with the first subparagraph. Where the
producer resumes production of milk or other milk products within a
period to be determined by the Member State, he shall be granted a
reference quantity in accordance with Article 4 (1) no later than 1 April
following the date of his application.!A1

Article 6
1. Before a date that they shall determine and by 31 December at the
latest, Member States shall authorize, for the 12-month period
concerned, temporary transfers of individual reference quantities which
producers who are entitled thereto do not intend to use. However, the
reference quantities referred to in Article 4 (3) may not be the subject of
such temporary transfers until 31 March 1995.
Member States may vary transfer operations depending on the category
of producers or dairy production structures, may limit them at the level of
the purchaser within regions and may determine to what extent transfer
operations may be renewed.
2. Any Member State may decide not to implement paragraph 1 on the
basis of one or both of the following criteria:
— the need to facilitate structural developments and adjustments,— overriding administrative needs.
Article 7
1. Reference quantities available on a holding shall be transferred with
the holding in the case of sale, lease or transfer by inheritance to the
producers taking it over in accordance with detailed rules to be
determined by the Member States taking account of the areas used for
dairy production or other objective criteria and, where applicable, of any
agreement between the parties. Any part of the reference quantity which
is not transferred with the holding shall be added to the national reserve.
The same provisions shall apply to other cases of transfers involving
comparable legal effects for producers.
However:(a) until 30 June 1994, the reference quantity referred to in Article 4 (3)
shall be added to the national reserve in the case of sale or leasing of
the holding;
(b) where land is transferred to public authorities and/or for use in the
public interest, or where the transfer is carried out for non-
agricultural purposes, Member States shall provide that the measures
necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the parties are
implemented, and in particular that the departing producer is in a
position to continue milk production, if such is his intention.
2. Where there is no agreement between the parties, in the case of rural
leases due to expire without any possibility of renewal on similar terms,
or in situations involving comparable legal effects, the reference
quantities available on the holdings in question shall be transferred in
whole or in part to the producers taking them over, in accordance with
provisions adopted or to be adopted by the Member States, taking
account of the legitimate interests of the parties.
Article 8
With a view to completing restructuring of milk production at national,
regional or collection area level, or to environmental improvement,
Member States may take one or more of the following actions in
accordance with detailed rules which they shall lay down taking account
of the legitimate interests of the parties:
— grant compensation in one or more annual instalments to producers
who undertake to abandon definitively all or part of their milk
production and place the reference quantities thus released in the
national reserve,
— determine on the basis of objective criteria the conditions under
which producers may obtain, in return for payment, at the beginning
of a 12-month period, the reallocation by the competent authority or
by the body designated by that authority, of reference quantities
released definitively at the end of the preceding twelve-month period!B1992R3950 — EN — 01.04.1998 — 008.001 — 8
by other producers in return for compensation in one or more annual
instalments equal to the abovementioned payment,
— provide, in the case of land transferred with a view to improving the
environment, for the allocation of the reference quantity available on
the holding concerned to the departing producer if he intends
continuing milk production,
— determine, on the basis of objective criteria, the regions or collection
areas within which the transfer of reference quantities between
certain producer categories without transfer of the corresponding
land is authorized, with the aim of improving the structure of milk
production,
— authorize, upon application by the producer to the competent
authority or the body designated by that authority, the transfer of
reference quantities without transfer of the corresponding land, or
vice versa, with the aim of improving the structure of milk
production at the level of the holding or to allow for extensification
of production.
However, until 30 June 1994, producers with a reference quantity as
referred to in Article 4 (3) may not benefit from the provisions of this
Article, with the exception of the third indent.
For the implementation, during the 1993/94 period in each Member
State, of a programme for the restructuring of milk production, and, if
necessary, to replenish the national reserve with a view to allocating the
additional quantities referred to in the first indent of the second
subparagraph of Article 3 (2), Community financing shall be granted,
limited to the amounts in ecus indicated below; the method of applying
such financing and in particular the maximum amount of the indemnity
shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article
11:
Belgium 1 106 613
Denmark 1 678 207Germany 10 460 461Greece 235 842Spain 1 959 115France 8 854 814Ireland 1 970 627Italy 3 470 719Luxembourg 101 007Netherlands 4 133 772Portugal 679 994United Kingdom 5 348 829
These amounts shall be converted into national currencies with the aid of
the conversion rate applicable for the entry in the accounts of the
expenditure of the general budget of the European Communities valid on
20 July 1993.
The financing of payments made under this programme shall be deemed
intervention within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No
729/70 (1).
The expenditure commitment must be made by virtue of the appropri-
ations of the 1993 financial year, at the request of the Member States and
by 30 September 1993 at the latest. The payments made by the
disbursing agencies must be effected before 15 October 1994.!B

Article 9
For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) ‘milk’ means the produce of the milking of one or more cows;
(b) ‘other milk products’ means cream, butter and cheese in particular;
(c) ‘producer’ means a natural or legal person or a group of natural or
legal persons farming a holding "M2within the geographical
territory of a Member State 3:
— selling milk or other milk products directly to the consumer,
— and/or supplying the purchaser;
(d) ‘holding’ means all production units operated by the single producer
and located "M2within the geographical territory of a Member
State3;
(e) ‘purchaser’ means an undertaking or grouping which purchases milk
or other milk products from a producer:
— to treat or process them,
— to sell them to one or more undertakings treating or processing
milk or other milk products.
However, any group of purchasers in the same geographical area
which carries out administrative and accounting operations necess-
ary for the payment of the levy on behalf of its members shall be
regarded as a purchaser. For the purposes of applying this provision,
Greece shall be deemed a single geographical area and it may deem
an official body to be a group of purchasers as referred to above;
(f) ‘untertaking treating or processing milk or other milk products’
means an undertaking or grouping which is involved in collection,
packaging, storage, chilling and processing operations or whose
dairying activities are restricted to one of those operations;
(g) ‘delivery’ means any delivery of milk or other milk products,
whether the transport is carried out by the producer, a purchaser, an
undertaking processing or treating such products or a third party;
(h) ‘milk or milk equivalent sold directly for consumption’ means milk
or milk products converted into milk equivalent, sold or transferred
free without going through an undertaking treating or processing
milk or other milk products.
Article 10
The levy shall be considered as intervention to stabilize agricultural
markets and shall be used to finance expenditure in the milk sector.
Article 11
The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation and in particular
the characteristics of milk, including fat content, which are considered
representative for the purposes of establishing the quantities of milk
delivered or purchased shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure
provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (1).
However, for Austria, Finland and Sweden, the characteristics of the milk
considered as representative shall be those of the 1992 calendar year, and
the national average representative fat content of the milk delivered shall
