Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunale ordinario di Padova — Interpretation and validity of Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector (OJ 2003 L 270, p.123) — Regulation under which (i) no account is taken of the periodic updating for each country of the reference quantities exempt from the levy and (ii) the additional levy is applied in an identical manner to producers with surplus milk production and to those in deficit — Incompatibility with Articles 5, 32, 33 et 34 EC
1.The fact that Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector does not take into account, for the purposes of determining the national reference quantity, the fact that the Member State concerned has a milk production deficit is not capable of affecting the compatibility of that regulation with the objectives laid down, in particular, in Article 33(1)(a) and (b) EC.
2.The analysis of Regulation No 1788/2003 in the light of the principle of non-discrimination has not disclosed any factor which might affect the validity of that regulation.
3.The analysis of Regulation No 1788/2003 in the light of the principle of proportionality has not disclosed any factor which might affect the validity of that regulation.
