The Commission accepts all six amendments proposed by the European Parliament and will take them into account in its amended proposal.
They aim to :
- delete the words "or even local";
- delete the new recital 4 on the possibility of conducting the surveys among local production units;
- replace Article 1(1) defining the survey units as local units for those Member States which do not obtain the agreement of the enterprises to lift confidentiality of the data;
- abolish the collection of data on the quantities of the main milk products reused in the production chain and allows a choice to continue to be made between the two methods: an estimate of the protein content of fresh products (output) and the protein content of the products used (input), in order to assess the protein content of the main milk products;
- simplify the reference to the methodological reports, with a view to avoiding redundancy;
- replace the paragraph on the dissemination of confidential data.�
