THE SOURCES OF COMMUNITY LAW , THEREFORE , A REGULATION HAS DIRECT EFFECT .
30THE DIRECT APPLICABILITY OF A REGULATION REQUIRES THAT ITS ENTRY INTO FORCE AND ITS APPLICATION IN FAVOUR OF OR AGAINST THOSE SUBJECT TO IT MUST BE INDEPENDENT OF ANY MEASURE OF RECEPTION INTO NATIONAL LAW .
31PROPER COMPLIANCE WITH THAT DUTY PRECLUDES THE APPLICATION OF ANY LEGISLATIVE MEASURE , EVEN ONE ADOPTED SUBSEQUENTLY , WHICH IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THAT REGULATION .
32THAT PROHIBITION IS , HOWEVER , RELAXED TO THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE REGULATION IN QUESTION LEAVES IT TO THE MEMBER STATES THEMSELVES TO ADOPT THE NECESSARY LEGISLATIVE , REGULATORY , ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL MEASURES TO ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE APPLICATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THAT REGULATION .
33THE POSITION IS THAT ESTABLISHED BY REGULATIONS ( EEC ) NOS 1619/68 AND 95/69 , WHICH PROVIDE INTER ALIA THAT ' ' LARGE PACKS . . . SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH A BAND OR LABEL . . .

35INDEED THE FACT THAT A MEMBER STATE RESERVES TO ITS PUBLIC AUTHORITIES THE PREPARATION OF BANDS AND LABELS IN NO WAY DISRUPTS THE FUNCTIONING OF THE COMMON ORGANIZATION AND DOES NOT OBSTRUCT AND IS NOT OF SUCH A NATURE AS TO OBSTRUCT THE FREE MOVEMENT OF THE PRODUCT .
36THE REPLY SHOULD THEREFORE BE GIVEN THAT THE DIRECTLY APPLICABLE NATURE OF REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 1619/68 , REPLACED BY REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 2772/75 , AND REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 95/69 IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE ADOPTION OF NATIONAL RULES REQUIRED BY THE SAID REGULATIONS FOR THEIR APPLICATION WHICH COMPLY WITH THE AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE REGULATIONS BY INTRODUCING ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS SUCH AS RESERVING TO THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES THE PREPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE BANDS AND LABELS AND MAKING THE ISSUE THEREOF CONDITIONAL ON PAYMENT OF A PECUNIARY CONSIDERATION , ON CONDITION THAT
