7Regulation No 3331/74 was adopted in pursuance of Article 24 (3) of the basic regulation and in accordance with the procedure prescribed therein; that procedure differs from the procedure prescribed in Article 43 of the Treaty. However, as the Court has already held in its judgment of 17 December 1970 (Case 25/70 Köster, [1970] ECR 1161) it cannot be a requirement that all the details of the regulations concerning the common agricultural policy be drawn up by the Council according to the procedure laid down in Article 43; it is sufficient for the purposes of that provision that the basic elements of the matter to be dealt with have been adopted in accordance with that procedure; on the other hand, the provisions implementing basic regulations may be adopted by the Council according to a procedure different from that under Article 43.
