   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

               Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 provides that the Member States are to establish the producers’ individual reference quantities. Producers may have one or two individual reference quantities, one for deliveries and the other for direct sales and these quantities may be converted from one reference quantity to the other at the duly justified request of the producer.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 832/2006 of 2 June 2006 on the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of national reference quantities fixed for 2005/2006 in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 (2) sets out the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ for the period from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006 for Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               In accordance with Article 25(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 of 30 March 2004 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector (3), Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom have notified the quantities which have been definitively converted at the request of the producers between individual reference quantities for deliveries and for direct sales.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               In accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 the total national reference quantities for Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom for 2006/2007 are greater than their total national reference quantities for 2005/2006, and these Member States have notified the Commission of the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the additional reference quantities.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 927/2006 of 22 June 2006 on the release of the special restructuring reserve provided for in Article 1(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 (4), the additional reference quantities released with effect from 1 April 2006 for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia are allocated to ‘deliveries’ in the respective national reference quantities.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               It is therefore appropriate to establish the division between ‘deliveries’ and ‘direct sales’ of the national reference quantities applicable for the period from 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007 fixed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003.
