Art. 37

1 Branch or­gan­isa­tions in the milk sec­tor are re­spons­ible for draw­ing up a stand­ard con­tract for the pur­chase and sale of un­treated milk. The pro­vi­sions of the stand­ard con­tract may not have a marked det­ri­ment­al ef­fect on com­pet­i­tion. The con­tract­ing part­ners are re­spons­ible for set­ting prices and quant­it­ies.

2 A stand­ard con­tract with­in the mean­ing of this Art­icle is a con­tract that has a min­im­um peri­od of valid­ity and pos­sible ex­ten­sion of one year and in­cludes terms con­cern­ing quant­it­ies, prices and meth­ods of pay­ment.

3 At the re­quest of a branch or­gan­isa­tion, the Fed­er­al Coun­cil may de­clare the stand­ard con­tract to be gen­er­ally bind­ing in re­la­tion to all stages of the pur­chase and sale of un­treated milk.

4 The re­quire­ments that must be met by the branch or­gan­isa­tions and the de­cision mak­ing are gov­erned by Art­icle 9 para­graph 1.

5 Any lit­ig­a­tion arising from the stand­ard con­tract or in­di­vidu­al con­tracts is sub­ject to the jur­is­dic­tion of the civil courts.

6 If a branch or­gan­isa­tion is un­able to agree on a stand­ard con­tract, the Fed­er­al Coun­cil may is­sue tem­por­ary reg­u­la­tions on the pur­chase and sale of un­treated milk.
