The reference prices set out in article 7(e) for the milk and milk products sector must be periodically reviewed and if necessary changed by the Commission to ensure that they provide an effective safety net mechanism to the dairy sector against extremes of downward price volatility. a) In undertaking its review the Commission should in particular take account of developments in: - market volatility - production costs b) In making any change to reference prices the Commission should ensure that the new reference price does not provide an incentive for increasing aggregate EU production of milk and milk products.
