Details of the accepted offers 
[266 KB] for the remaining volumes available under the second wave of the so-called EU Milk Production Reduction Scheme have been fixed by the European Commission today.
This means that a producer who offered to reduce production by 100 tonnes, will in fact only be supported for a reduction 12.463 tonnes.
The scheme requires the individual producers to show a reduction in production in the period from the start of November to the end of January 2017 relative to the same period twelve months earlier. This second wave followed the strong take up of the scheme in the first wave. The EU Milk Production Reduction Scheme was announced by Commissioner Hogan at the July Agriculture Council as part of a €500 million aid package for the dairy sector, which included an emergency support package worth €350 million with designated envelopes for each Member State, and a number of market measures.
