"In 2009, in light of the crisis in the dairy sector, a High-Level Expert Group on Milk (HLG) was set up with the purpose of discussing mid-term and long-term arrangements for the sector, given the expiry of milk quotas in 2015. The group noted an imbalance in bargaining power in the supply chain between farmers and dairies, which can lead to unfair commercial practices. In particular, farmers do not know what price they will receive for their milk, because the price is fixed by the dairies after delivery.
Bearing in mind the failure of the milk quotas system, and in view of the crisis suffered by the sector, the regulation sets out a number of changes. The proposal allows for contracts between farmers and dairies where the price, delivery volume and contract duration must be specified. Producer organisations will be able to support farmers in contract negotiations and set appropriate quantitative limits. Thus, producers will be on an equal footing with dairies and cheese makers, and a suitable level of competition on raw milk supplies will be maintained. The volumes of cheeses with protected designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indication (PGI) that come onto the market will be monitored and associations will be recognised, which were measures that
was particularly keen to see so that quality cheeses can be protected."@en1
