Eight Member States - Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Austria, Ireland, Cyprus and Luxembourg - exceeded their milk quotas for deliveries in 2013/2014, and must therefore pay penalties ('superlevy') totalling roughly € 409 million. Despite the overrun of the quotas in these Member States, total EU deliveries remained 4.6% below the total quota volumes, compared with 6.0% in 2012/13. In addition, the Netherlands overshot its direct sales quota by 3 300t (4.2%) and faces an additional levy of € 918 000. |
