(7) For dairies, the volume which will be delivered during the season is not always well planned. Even for dairy co-operatives (owned by farmers which posses processing facilities, by which 58% of EU raw milk is processed) there is a potential lack of adaptation of supply to demand: farmers are obliged to deliver all their milk to their co-operative and the co-operative is obliged to accept all the milk. Cooperatives are economic organisations in which milk producers participate on a voluntary basis and which they manage themselves. The existing co-operative structure will be respected in the proposals.

Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) In order to provide an effective early warning of likely market imbalance in the Union milk sector along with greater market transparency, and to facilitate a smooth transition from a quota-regulated supply situation, a Market Monitoring Agency for the Union Milk Sector should be established to collect and disseminate data and information on production and supply, exports and imports, production costs, milk prices at farm level, consumer prices and margins, at all levels of the milk and dairy product supply chain of the Union and Member States. In order to function effectively, the agency should be independent in its operations and should report to the Milk Advisory Group and the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets. In order to facilitate a smooth transition to post-quota conditions, the Agency should be established prior to the ending of quotas
