The liability, if any, for super-levy will be determined by the overall level of milk production at the end of the quota year. The relevant Community regulations provide that milk purchasers, co-operatives and dairies, must recover any super-levy due through the price paid to the producers for the period concerned. There is no provision for any exception to this.
