Position paper on Voluntary Production Cuts against financial compensation
The European Milk Board welcomes the decision of the European Parliament in favour of the introduction of Voluntary Production Cuts. In case of a crisis, this market instrument would allow to reduce the offer of milk for a given period of time and to rapidly restore the balance in the market.
The instrument of Voluntary Production Cuts is the only measure that allows to prevent crises or to control them at an early stage. For this reason, we urge you to endorse the implementation of the VPC!
Please see the position paper
