  5. Dairy market situation in Hungary: • raw milk prices decreased by 25% in 2015, • the lowest milk prices in the region, • unchanging/shrinking/ commodity prices. • Main factors affect the situation: • milk quota abolition, • Russian import ban, • higher milk supply driven by a general overproduction, • VAT fraud driven by high VAT of dairy products in Hungary, • overall condition of Hungarian dairy industry.

  6. European solutions – 1. • compensation for the abolition of the quota (property right with value), • compensation for an unused quota, • compensation for farmers - who stops milk production (in case they continue other agricultural activity), • financial support for PO’s (e.g. positive discrimination for PO’s in CAP aids and measures), • further exemptions of IBO’s (in crisis situation) from competition law.

  7. European solutions – 2. • learn the lesson of sugar sector, • keep away from abolishing the whole milk production in some countries, • ending the Russian import ban, • tightening up the control of traders, • purchase and distribution of milk powder within member states, • promotional programs for ‚poorer’ IBO’s, • ban ‚dumping’ within the EU, • raise intervention prices.
