Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) There are disadvantaged regions that depend heavily on milk production, where it is necessary to assess the guidelines laid down for the milk and milk products sector, as recognised in the Treaties, so that support and the application of these policies continue to be adapted to their specific characteristics.

(6) There is a problem of price transmission along the chain, in particular as regards farm-gate prices. Conversely, during 2009 the supply of milk did not react to lower demand. Indeed, in some large producer Member States, in reaction to lower prices, farmers produced more than in the previous year. Value-added in the chain has become increasingly concentrated in the downstream sectors, notably with dairieand it is therefore essential to continue with an approach that takes account of all the contractual relations established in those sectors, notably between producers and dairies, between dairies and distributors and between distributors and consumers.

(14) The measures set out in this Regulation, are justified in the current economic circumstances of the dairy market and the structure of the supply chain. They should therefore be applied for a sufficiently long duration (both before and after the abolition of milk quotas) to allow them to have full effect. However, given their far-reaching nature, they should nevertheless be temporary in nature, and be subject to review to see how they have operated and whether they should continue to apply. This should be dealt with in Commission reports on the development of the milk market, and covering in particular potential incentives to encourage farmers to enter into joint production agreements, to be submitted by 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2018.
