The European Dairy Association (EDA) has said it is happy with the political agreement on the CAP Reform that was reached on Wednesday between the Council and the European Parliament.
“We especially appreciate the development into a more market oriented approach of the new CAP, particularly as the Council and Parliament have decided to not reintroduce supply management through the back door”, reacts Joop Kleibeuker, Secretary-General of EDA. “This agreement will give the sector the predictability and the stability it needs to fully develop and participate in the growing world market.”
“EDA sees this political agreement as the confirmation of the basic decision taken in 2003 to proceed with a market orientation framework for the dairy sector”, concludes Kleibeuker.
