2. In the absence of any indication in Regulation No 2187/93 providing for an offer of compensation to certain producers of milk and milk products temporarily prevented from carrying on their trade, the contracts for compensation concluded pursuant to that regulation are governed by the rules of national law, provided that their application does not prejudice the scope and effectiveness of Community law.
Moreover, Community law does not preclude the application of the principle of legitimate expectations provided for by the national legal order of the Member State concerned for the purposes of assessing the scope of contracts concluded by national authorities in the name and on behalf of the Council and Commission, provided that the Community interest is also taken into account.
