Vol. 424 No. 9
144 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if Greece or Spain were granted special concessions in relation to the milk quota decisions arising out of the Council of Ministers meeting in May, 1992, on Common Agricultural Policy reform.
The overall agreement on Common Agricultural Policy reform included a decision in principle to adapt the milk quota levels for Spain and Greece from 1993-94 onwards subject to full and rigid compliance with the quota regime by those member states in the current year. This decision will reduce EC milk production due to the implementation of buy out schemes in Spain and to the more rigid application of the quota regime in both countries.
