Following the abolition of milk quotas in 2015, the supply management arrangements that currently exist will no longer be relevant, and it is not anticipated that any alternative form of supply management will replace milk quotas. Therefore the collection and processing of milk will, subject to requirements in relation to hygiene standards, be a matter between milk processors and their supplier customers.
