THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural markets (Single CMO Regulation)^note, and in particular Articles 85 and 192, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,Whereas:

(1)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^note as amended by Regulation (EC) No 258/2009^note, provided for Member States to report annually on the extent of quota utilisation, the distribution of the unused quota to producers, and where relevant, on the collection of levy due from producers for the purpose of supporting the Commission’s supervision of the implementation of the quota system and in particular in the context of the reports to be provided by the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council before the end of 2010 and 2012.

(2)Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003^note, the rules of which have been taken over by Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, changed the role of the Member States and the Commission in respect of the surplus levy and as a result the Commission is not fully aware of issues arising in levy collection. As such information is required in order to develop a comprehensive evaluation of the regime and its implementation, it is appropriate that Member States provide relevant information for each of the periods since 2003/2004.

(3)In order that Member States can communicate the relevant information in a uniform manner, it is necessary that a template giving the detailed specification for the data is established.

(4)Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
