Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 22 a (new)

Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013
Article 149 a (new)

(22 a) Article 149 Article 149 (new) 1. In order to ensure that the milk market is observed and in balance, the EU Commission should further develop the competences of the existing Milk Market Observatory (MMO)with the following elements: a. A market balance index, based on the changes in product quotations, milk prices and production costs (margin). The index provides information on EU milk market’s balance state. The state “balanced market” corresponds to a situation where supply and demand of raw milk meet at a level where producer prices cover production costs. b. A crisis mechanism, which is activated when the index leaves the state “balanced market”. The crisis mechanism works as follows :i. The current market state deviates by - 7.5 percent of the state “balanced market”:- The Monitoring Body proclaims an early warning phase, private storage is opened and/or incentive programmes are activated for a defined period of time- This phase is maintained until the market returns to the “balanced” state. .ii. The current market state deviates by - 15 percent of the state “balanced market”:- The Monitoring Body proclaims that there is a crisis and starts the voluntary volume adjustment scheme according to Article ... (volume reduction programme)- The voluntary volume adjustment scheme is prolonged until the market returns to the “balanced” state- Enforcing a market responsibility penalty on all producers that increase their production during the reduction period. .iii. The current market state deviates by - 25 percent of the state “balanced market”:- Reduction of supply of raw milk by a defined percentage during a set period of time for all producers- Application of a market responsibility penalty to all producers who do not take part in the reduction programme. This phase is maintained until the market returns to the “balanced” state. .c. The sources of funding of the crisis mechanism are the following:- Public crisis fund- The market responsibility penalties of the farmers increasing their production volumes during the voluntary adjustment scheme, according to Article. 2(volume adjustment programme)- The market responsibility penalties of the producers according to Article1.b.iii.- A producer levy set per kilogramme of supplied milk, to be paid during a defined period of the year in which the crisis takes place. An additional collection period can be set in case more financial resources are necessary. In order for this to be possible, the Commission would need to adopt delegated acts defining the following points :a. The calculation of the market balance index as well as the determination of the “balanced market” state, i.e. the situation where supply and demand of raw milkmeet at a level where producer prices cover production costs. The calculation of costs must take into account all costs, including a fair income for the producer. .b. The lengths of the following periods :i. Early warning phase according to Article .ii. Universal reduction phase according to Article .iii. Period of the collection of the producer levy according to Article 1.c. .c. The percentage of the volume to be cut during the universal reduction phase, according to Article b.iii. .d. The amount of the market responsibility penalty paid by producers that increase their production during the reduction period according to Article .e. The amount of the market responsibility penalty collected from all producers who do not take part in the universal reduction programme according to Article1.b.iii.f. .f. The amount of the producer levy per kilogramme of supplied milk, which will be used to finance the crisis mechanism according to Article 1.c.
