TO ADOPT SUCH MEASURES .
18 IN MEGGLE ' S VIEW , THE FACT THAT THE COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS HAVE NOT APPLIED MONETARY COMPENSATORY AMOUNTS TO CASEIN AND CASEINATES OR GRANTED AID FOR THEIR PRODUCTION IN AN AMOUNT VARYING FROM MEMBER STATE TO MEMBER STATE HAS LED TO DISTORTIONS OF COMPETITION AND TO DISCRIMINATION ON THE MARKET IN THOSE PRODUCTS AS WELL AS BETWEEN PRODUCERS IN THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBER STATES . ACCORDING TO MEGGLE , STATISTICS ON PRODUCTION AND SALES AND ON IMPORTS AND EXPORTS WOULD SUGGEST THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS SUCH DISTORTION AND DISCRIMINATION HAS PRODUCED AND CONTINUES TO PRODUCE AN ABNORMAL SHIFT IN TRADING PATTERNS OWING TO THE GREEN RATES AND THE FAILURE TO ABOLISH SUCH DISCRIMINATION . IT CONSIDERS THAT THE OMISSION OF WHICH THE INSTITUTIONS ARE ACCUSED ALSO AFFECTS THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE INTERVENTION SYSTEM UNDER THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET IN MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS OWING TO ITS ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PROCESSING OF SKIMMED MILK INTO CASEIN AND CASEINATES , WHICH HAS AN ESSENTIAL FUNCTION IN REGULATING THE MARKET .
19 AS REGARDS THE EFFECTS WHICH THE ABSENCE OF THE MEASURES SOUGHT BY MEGGLE ALLEGEDLY HAS ON THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE INTERVENTION SYSTEM FOR SKIMMED MILK , THE COURT WOULD EMPHASIZE FIRST OF ALL THAT THE PRODUCTION OF CASEIN AND CASEINATES HAS CERTAIN SPECIAL FEATURES . AS IS CLEAR FROM THE DOCUMENTS BEFORE IT , THOSE PRODUCTS ARE CHIEFLY MADE BETWEEN MAY AND SEPTEMBER WHEN LIQUID SKIMMED MILK , THE RAW MATERIAL FROM WHICH THEY ARE MADE , MAY BE BOUGHT MORE CHEAPLY . AT THAT TIME OF THE YEAR THE SEASONAL MILK SURPLUS EXCEEDS BY A LARGE MARGIN THE CAPACITY TO PROCESS LIQUID SKIMMED MILK INTO SKIMMED MILK POWDER AND PREVENTS MILK PRODUCERS FROM RESORTING TO INTERVENTION . IT FOLLOWS THAT , SINCE THE QUANTITIES OF MILK THAT MANUFACTURERS OF CASEIN AND CASEINATES BUY DURING THAT PERIOD CANNOT IN ANY EVENT BE SOLD TO THE INTERVENTION AGENCIES , THE FACT THAT THE MEASURES SUGGESTED BY MEGGLE HAVE NOT BEEN ADOPTED CANNOT CAUSE ANY DISRUPTION OF THE INTERVENTION SYSTEM .
20 MEGGLE MAINTAINS , HOWEVER , THAT , EVEN THOUGH MORE CASEIN AND CASEINATES ARE PRODUCED IN THE MONTHS IN WHICH MILK PRODUCTION IS AT ITS HIGHEST , THEY ARE ALSO PRODUCED , ALBEIT IN SMALLER QUANTITIES , IN OTHER MONTHS OF THE YEAR . BECAUSE MONETARY COMPENSATORY AMOUNTS ARE NOT APPLIED TO CASEIN AND CASEINATES AND DIFFERENTIAL AID IS NOT GRANTED FOR THEIR PRODUCTION , THE POSSIBILITIES FOR SELLING THOSE PRODUCTS ARE REDUCED WHEN THEY ARE MADE IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY , AND THIS HAS AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON PRODUCTION GROWTH . ACCORDING TO MEGGLE , THIS FALL IN PRODUCTION LEADS IN TURN TO LESS LIQUID SKIMMED MILK BEING USED BY MANUFACTURERS OF CASEIN AND CASEINATES AND THEREBY INCREASES THE QUANTITY OF MILK SOLD TO INTERVENTION AGENCIES .
21 IN THIS REGARD IT MUST BE OBSERVED THAT , AS IS SHOWN BY THE STATISTICS PRODUCED BY THE COMMISSION IN
