These Regulations abolish the Dairy Produce Quota Tribunals (regulation 2) and make consequential amendments to the Dairy Produce Quotas (General Provisions) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/458). These Regulations also make consequential amendments to the Agriculture Act 1986 (regulation 4) and repeal and revoke various other enactments (Part 1 of the Schedule). Disputes concerning the allocation of quota, which would previously have been considered by a Dairy Produce Quota Tribunal, will instead be considered under the relevant Common Agricultural Policy Non-IACS Support Schemes Appeals procedure.

These Regulations also revoke secondary legislation concerning Milk (Community Outgoers) schemes in the United Kingdom (Part 2 of the Schedule), as these schemes are no longer in operation.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
