Recital 11 a (new)
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) It is necessary to facilitate a soft landing for the Union milk quotas system in all Member States of the Union as soon as possible since a hard landing in some Member States could cause price fluctuations in international markets and harm stability and predictability of the market which is so necessary for European dairy farmers.

Recital 13 a (new)
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Competition policies need to be co- ordinated at Union level in order to ensure uniform interpretation and implementation in all Member States, since the “relevant market” for the dairy sector is in many respects no longer limited to the national borders of Member States, but is increasingly international.

Recital 14 a (new)
Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) While the Commission's report of 8 December 2010 'Evolution of the market situation and the consequent conditions for smoothly phasing out the milk quota system' predicts a "soft landing" for Europe's dairy sector, it has emerged that it may not be possible to guarantee this outcome in all Member States. In order to ensure a level playing field and to prevent inhibiting necessary restructuring in the sector, the Commission should investigate what additional measures are required to secure a smooth transition to the end of the milk quota system in 2015 in all Member States, for example, by gradually reducing the super levy. It may be noted, in this regard, that, currently, the Union as a whole is approximately 7 % under quota. Proposals of the European Commission in this regard should be made before the end of 2011.
