THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas:

(1) Annex IX to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (the single CMO Regulation) sets down the national milk quotas for the seven 12-month periods commencing on 1 April 2008 within the milk quota system for production limitation.

(2) Article 66(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that those quotas are fixed without prejudice to possible review in the light of the general market conditions and particular conditions in certain Member States.

(3) The Council requested that the Commission undertake a market outlook report when the 2003 reforms of the common market organisation in milk and milk products had been fully implemented with a view to assessing the appropriateness of allocating additional quotas.

(4) This report has been conducted and concluded the current situation of the Community and world markets and their projected situation in the period to 2014, warrant an additional increase in quota by 2 % to facilitate the production of more milk within the Community to help satisfy emerging market requirements for dairy products.

(5) Therefore it is appropriate to increase all Member State quotas as shown in Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 by 2 % from 1 April 2008.

(6) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Point 1 of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is hereby replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 17 March 2008. For the Council The President I. Jarc

  In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 248/2008 of 17 March 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the national quotas for milk, the total national quotas for all Member States were increased with effect from 1 April 2008. Member States, except Malta which has no direct sales part of its national quota, have notified the Commission of the division between deliveries and direct sales of the additional quota.

  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 1 May 2004, will lead to a decline in subsistence milk production, while production growth remains limited due to the existence of quotas. At the same time, the quantity of milk delivered to dairies for processing is expected to continue to increase over the projected period. In the light of strong internal and external demand, the milk quota system is

  The main purpose of the milk quota system of reducing the imbalance between supply and demand on the respective market and the resulting structural surpluses, thereby achieving a better market equilibrium, appeared to reduce market orientation because it distorted farmers' response to price signals and prevented efficiency gains in the sector by slowing down restructuring. The phasing-out of dairy quotas by annual increases of 1 % has been provided per marketing year from 2009/2010 to 2013/2014. In the context of the restructuring of the sector, Member States should be permitted until 31 March
