All the measures outlined by the Minister are for the disposal of this surplus. Have the Council of Ministers any plans at all to encourage processors not to convert milk into butter and to convert it into products for which there is some market and uptake? Apart from not eating it, we are making too much of it.

We got an undertaking from the Commission that we would get favourable consideration for projects which converted milk into products which are not in surplus in the Community, soft cheeses, for instance, which can be sold on the world market.
