Glanbia told seasonality scheme punishment does not fit crime
The Irish Creamery and Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA) said that imposing a 20% fine for even a 1% oversupply past the “tolerated” 16% limit is too harsh. The dairy group accepts the need to spread milk production out of peak production months, but disagrees with the way this goal would be managed under Glanbia’s proposed scheme.
The ICMSA has met Glanbia senior managers and requested that plans for post-quota processing plans be factored into the proposed scheme.
