Article – 147a (new)

3 a. The following Article is inserted under Section 3 “Milk and milk products”: “Article 147 a (new) Monitoring Body: 1. In order to ensure that the milk market is in balance, the Commission shall implement a Monitoring Body that includes the following elements: (a) A market balance index, comprising the trend in product quotas, milk prices and production costs (margin). The index provides information on EU milk market’s equilibrium or balanced state. The “balanced market” state corresponds to a situation where supply and demand of raw milk meet at a level where farm gate prices cover production costs. (b) A crisis mechanism, which is activated when the index leaves the “balanced market” state. The crisis mechanism works as follows: (i) The current market state deviates by - 7.5% of the “balanced market” state : - The Monitoring Body announces an early warning phase, private storage is opened and/or incentive programmes are activated for a defined period of time - This phase is maintained until the market returns to the “balanced” state. (ii) The current market state deviates by - 15% of the “balanced market” state: - The Monitoring Body announces a crisis phase and starts the voluntary volume reduction scheme according to article 220 a. - The voluntary volume reduction scheme is prolonged until the market returns to the “balanced” state. (iii) The current market state deviates by - 25% of the “balanced market” state: - Reduction of supply of raw milk by a defined percentage during a set period of time for all producers; - Application of a market responsibility levy to all producers who do not take part in the reduction programme. This phase is maintained until the market returns to the “balanced” state. 2. In this regard, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts establishing the following points: (a) The calculation of the market balance index as well as the determination of the “balanced market” state, i.e. the situation where supply and demand of raw milk meet at a level where producer prices cover production costs. The calculation of costs must take into account all costs, including a fair income for the producers. (b) The lengths of the following periods: (i) Early warning phase according to article 1.b.i. (ii) Universal reduction phase according to article 1.b.iii. (iii) Period of the collection of the producer levy according to article 1.c. (c) The percentage of the volume to be cut during the universal reduction phase, according to article 1.b.iii. (d) The amount of the market responsibility levy collected from all producers who do not take part in the universal reduction according to article 1.b.iii. (e) The amount of the producer contribution per kilogramme of supplied milk, which will be used to finance the crisis mechanism according to article 1.c. “ (This amendment is inserted in Section “Milk and milk products”, before Article 148)

During the reduction period, each producer who supplies an amount larger than that supplied during the reference period shall pay a market responsibility levy according to the extent of his/her oversupply. 3.
