(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.

(12) Rules have been introduced at EU level for interbranch organisations in some sectors. These organisations can play useful roles in allowing dialogue between actors in the supply chain, and in promoting best practice and market transparency. Such rules should equally be applied in the milk and milk products sector, along with the provisions clarifying the position of such organisations under competition law whilst ensuring that they do not distort competition or the internal market orand do not lead to a renationalisation of the Common Agricultural policy by adversely affecting the goodproper functioning of the common market organisation.
