Co-ops reject milk cut plan

Co-ops are disappointed by the new EU scheme to reduce milk production, said ICOS President, Martin Keane. 

“This is not an equitable approach, and firmly re-introduces supply management as an EU tool to manage dairy markets,” said the co-ops spokesman.

There was a mixed response from farmers, with ICMSA’s John Comer welcoming the €150m scheme to reduce milk production.
