據德國媒體報道，4月1日起，歐盟牛奶配額制正式終結，奶農們擔心乳品價格會繼續下滑。業內人士稱，目前生牛乳的價格已經低到了令很多奶農無法支付成本的地步。在配額制取消之后，牛奶收購價格可能繼續下跌，但超市貨架上的牛奶制品價格將不會改變。
報道稱，歐盟牛奶配額制走過了31年歷史，最初設立時的初衷是保護乳業，通過設立產量上限尋求供需平衡。
上世紀70年代末和80年代初，歐洲牛奶產量嚴重過剩，出現了所謂的“牛奶海”和“黃油山”現象。當時歐盟的前身歐共體對此采取了一些應對措施，包括在12月出售低價的所謂“圣誕黃油”，向前蘇聯出口黃油等。
1984年，牛奶配額制應運而生。該機制最初計劃只實行五年，但后來又一再地被延長。該機制的主旨就是限制牛奶產量。奶農只要產量超過相應的規定上限，就必須支付罰金。
根據德國聯邦農業部的評估，這一機制并沒有真正起到保護奶農收入平穩的作用。相反，在過去30年中，生乳每公斤的價格仍然存在幅度達到20歐分的波動。許多小型奶農農場無法維系生計被迫關門。
歐洲奶業協會總干事、德國農業專家安同（Alexander Anton）認為，配額制的終結不會對超市貨架上的牛奶制品價格產生“絲毫影響”。
歐盟委員會也持類似觀點，認為根據以往經驗來看，牛奶收購價格和終端消費價格之間并沒有必然聯系。即使奶農將牛奶出售的價格再被壓低，消費者購買的乳制品也不見得會變得更優惠。（中國進出口網）
According to German media reports, from April 1, the EU milk quota system officially ended, dairy farmers are worried that prices will continue to decline. Insiders said that the current low raw milk prices have made many farmers unable to balance the cost and profit. When the quota system abolished, the milk price is likely to continue to fall, but the price of milk products on supermarket shelves will not change.
Reportedly, the EU milk quota system has gone through 31 years of history, the original intention for this system was to protect the dairy industry and seek to balance supply and demand by setting up production ceiling.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, European milk was overproduced, with the so-called "Milk Sea" and "butter mountains". The European Community (now called the European unio, EU) has taken some measures, including the sale cheap "Christmas butter" sale in December, and exporting butter to the Soviet unio.
In 1984, the milk quota system came into being. This mechanism was originally planned to function only for five years, but later was extended repeatedly. Thrust of this mechanism is to limit milk production. As long as dairy farmers’ production exceeds the upper limit, farmers must pay a penalty.
According to the assessment of the German Federal Ministry of Agriculture, this mechanism does not really play a role in the protection of steady income of farmers. On the contrary, in the past 30 years, the price per kilogram of raw milk has fluctuations of 20 euro cents. Many small dairy farms can not sustain livelihoods and be closed.
The director-General of the European Dairy Association and the German agricultural expert Alexander Anton believes that the end of the quota system has no impact on the price of milk products on supermarket shelves.
The European Commission takes a similar view that based on past experience, there is no necessary connection between the purchase price and the end consumer price of milk. Even if farmers sell milk at a lower price, dairy products bought by consumers may not become more favorable.
