Cheese to be the ‘locomotive’ of EU’s dairy performance after 2015

Cheese will be the locomotive for EU dairy performance post-2015, currently accounting for 45% of all EU milk output, said MEP Máiréad McGuinness.

She also welcomed a commitment issued by the European Commission to address dairy farmers’ concerns over price volatility.

“I welcome the commitment of the commissioner to address the need for up-to-date market information and analysis, which will be used to anticipate market problems and allow for timely and effective intervention to tackle problems,” she said.
