Commissioner vows to improve functioning of Europe’s dairy sector

A LEGISLATIVE package to improve the functioning of the dairy sector is to be introduced by European Agriculture and Rural Development Commissioner, Dacian Ciolos, by the year end.

He told a conference on the future of milk in Brussels that he intends to present the package without waiting for the talks on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy after 2013.

Addressing more than 400 delegates, Mr Ciolos said the crisis in dairy last year was very tough.
