Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/599 authorising agreements and decisions on the planning of production in the milk and milk products sector.

This Regulation lays down provisions on the authorization of farmers, farmers' associations, associations of such associations, recognised producer organisations, associations of recognised producer organisations and recognised interbranch organisations in the milk and milk products sector to conclude agreements and take common decisions on planning the volume of raw milk to be produced, during a period of 6 months starting from 1 April 2020. The provisions aim at supporting farmers and producers of raw milk against economic disruption due to Covid-19 pandemic. This Regulation underlines that the necessary measures taken by the Member States shall ensure that the agreements and decisions do not undermine the proper functioning of the internal market and strictly aim to stabilise the milk and milk products sector.
