Common Agricultural Policy: Statements.
The new dairy cow premium will not be decoupled until the reform in the sector is completed thereby favouring active producers. Overall, I am convinced that the agreement is most satisfactory given, in particular, that the milk quota regime has been extended to 2015. A small price of approximately 1 cent per gallon was paid in terms of intervention price reductions for that objective which will play a major role in supporting the milk price until 2015.
