summary
The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Elisabeth JEGGLE (EPP, ED, DE), and made some amendments to the proposal amending Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products.Parliament made the following amendments:a) budgetary savings resulting from standardisation should be retained for the milk sector. Accordingly, a milk fund restructuring programme shall be set up by 1 January 2008 at the latest to accompany and support the reform measures in the milk sector.The objectives of the milk fund restructuring programme shall include, inter alia: supporting the restructuring process for milk producers and processors who are affected by increasing market liberalisation;strengthening marketing support and nutrition awareness measures (promotional activities) for the milk sector;maintaining and modernising milk production under difficult conditions in mountain regions;reinforcing the scheme to distribute milk to schools;b) Parliament was in favour of the introduction of a single rate of aid for milk distributed in schools. The Commission had proposed the Community aid to be set at 16.11 euros/100 kg however the Committee believes that it should be increased to 18.15 euros/100 kg;c) private storage of cream and skimmed milk powder (SMP) should not be abolished;d) the Commission shall present an impact assessment on the implementation of the school milk scheme and, in this context, explore other options for widening the range of products that fall within the school milk scheme. In so doing, it shall take particular account of new, innovative and healthy products. It should be noted that, to simplify the common market organisation (CMO) in milk and milk products, the Commission proposed three sets of amendments to current legislation. This proposal is closely related to the proposal on amending Directive 2001/114/EC relating to certain partly or wholly dehydrated preserved milk for human consumption (CNS/2007/0025) and the proposal amending Regulation (EC) No2597/1997 laying down additional rules on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products for drinking milk (CNS/2007/0027.)

summary
PURPOSE: the amendment of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 in order to simplify a number of rules.PROPOSED ACT: Council Regulation.BACKGROUND: this proposal is being presented as a package, alongside two other, related proposals on the dairy sector. The other two proposals concern the amendment of:- Council Directive 2001/114/EC relating to certain partly or wholly dehydrated preserved milk for human consumption. See CNS/2007/0025- Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/97 laying down additional rules on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products for drinking milk. See CNS/2007/0027.CONTENT: the purpose of this proposal is to amend the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products by:Reducing the intervention price for skimmed milk powder (SMP): The adoption of the intervention price for SMP will be strictly mathematical and follow current rules of price reduction where the SMP has a protein content lower than the intervention standard of 35.6%. The new intervention standard will lead to a new intervention price which is lower that the current one.Removing the intervention trigger for butter: The proposal seeks to simplify current rules on intervention by allowing intervention agencies to simply buy butter at 90% of the intervention price from 1 March until the overall Community ceiling has been reached.Abolishing the national quality class for butter: The new requirements will be “lighter” than the current intervention requirements. Further, they will be easy to control.Removing certain aids for private storage: Given that aid for private storage of both cream and SMP has not be used by operators the two measures are considered obsolete and should therefore be removed from the basic dairy Regulation.Removing the disposal aid for military forces: Similarly, the possibility of granting aid for butter purchased by military forces is considered obsolete and should therefore be removed from the Regulation.Introducing a single rate of aid for school milk: For the sake of simplification the Commission is proposing a single rate of aid, irrespective of the sort of milk delivered to pupils. The single rate of aid will be established on the basis of past up-take under the school milk regime. For other eligible dairy products the amounts of aid should be determined in the light of that simplification.Abandoning the use of import licences: The Commission is proposing that where import quotas are, or will, be monitored by DGTAXUD, then operators will be exempt from presenting an import licence.As far as the financial consequences are concerned, the Commission suggests that amendments to the basic Regulation, with the exception of the SMP intervention price, are of a technical/obsolete nature and will, therefore, not lead to any saving or new expenditures for the budget. The implementation of the single rate of aid for school milk does not change the total financial envelope for the scheme.
