Consultation on a proposal for two percent increase to milk quotas from 2008

Consultation published by The Welsh Assembly Government View original »

The European Commission has tabled a proposal to increase EU milk quotas by 2 per cent from 1 April 2008.  This proposal is to be discussed at the Agriculture Council on 21-22 January, and in order to inform the UK negotiating position, I would be grateful for your urgent views on the proposal by 17 January at the latest.  The second issue relates to UK implementation of the proposal if it is adopted.  I would welcome your comments on this aspect by 29 February.

The proposal is to be discussed at the Special Committee for Agriculture (SCA) on 14 January, before a discussion at the Agriculture Council on 21-22 January and following an opinion from the European Parliament in February, is likely to be adopted in mid-March.

At the end of the consultation period copies of the responses we receive will be made publicly available. The information they contain will also be published in a summary of responses.
