(ii)Article 55(2), in so far as it relates to milk and other milk products, and
(iii)the provisions of, or referred to in, Section III of Chapter III of Part II,
of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation)(3); and
(b)the references in these Regulations to Commission Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation(EC) No 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector(4),
to be construed as references to those Articles and provisions and to that Commission Regulation as amended from time to time.
