Agricultural prices 2009-2010: intervention for butter and skimmed milk powder (derogation from "Single CMO" Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007)
2009/0094(CNS)
The European Parliament adopted by 447 votes to 70, with 16 abstentions, a legislative resolution amending, under the consultation procedure, the proposal for a Council regulation derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (‘Single CMO’ Regulation) as regards the 2009 and 2010 intervention periods for butter and skimmed milk powder.
Due to the serious crisis in the dairy sector, the proposed amendment asks to restore the aid for the private storage of cheese.
