Recital 8
(8) Constrained by the milk quota ceilings, total Community milk production is projected to follow a gradual, though modest decline over the medium term as continued restructuring in the Member States which were not members of the Community before the 2004 enlargement would lead to a decline in subsistence milk production, while production growth remains limited due to the existence of quotas. At the same time the rate of milk delivered to dairies for processing is foreseen to continue expanding over the projection period. IAn the light of strong internal and external demand, the milk quota system is hence now restricting production expansion, as opposed to the situation when quotas were introduced as a response to overproduction. In such a market situation, quotas reduce market orientation because they distort farmers' response to price signals, and prevent efficiency gains in the sector by slowing down restructuring. They are scheduled to end in 2015, in orincrease in the milk quotas as provided for in Annex I to this Regulation (of 2% for the 2008-2009 marketing year and 1% for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 marketing years) will provider to effect the appropriate adjustments by degrees. In this perspective, the phasing-out of dairy quotas by annual increases as provided for in Annex I to this Regulhe elements required for a suitable evaluation (of 1% per marketing year from 2009/10 to 2013/14) would allow for a smooth transition by avoiding an excessive adjustment after the end of quotasthe market situation in the milk sector.
