   Language of the case: Dutch
   Reference has been made to the Court of Justice of the European Communities by order of the College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven (Administrative court for trade and industry) Netherlands of 26 November 2004 received at the Court Registry on 1 December 2004, for a preliminary ruling in the case of J. Slob against het Productschap Zuivel on the following questions:
   
               —
            
            
               Is Article 7(1) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 536/93 (1) to be interpreted as giving a Member State a discretion as to whether to lay down a rule imposing on producers of milk products established in its territory an obligation to keep records which is more extensive than the obligation under Article 7(1)(f)?
            
         
               —
            
            
               If the answer to this question is affirmative, must it then be held that a rule requiring the producer to account to the administration for the quantity of butter produced and for its use, even where the butter has been destroyed or used as feeding stuff, is within the Member State's discretion?
