Half of the milk can be cut from the market next year

At least 50 000 small and medium dairy farms will be cut from the market next year because they are below the acceptable European standards for quality. For this reporting representatives of the agricultural associations a few months before the expiry of the derogation granted by the European Commission (EC) of Bulgaria to align domestic standards with European ones.

In 2009, the commission allowed an extraordinary extension of the buffer period in which the Bulgarian livestock farms can be sold domestically non-standard cow's milk. Grant extensions until the end of 2011, during which time farmers were expected to improve conditions for production and storage of milk, so as to retain their business. More Info

This is real bad news for the people of Bulgaria who relied on the milk sales for their income, I know they have to follow the law but they have been producing milk for years just to scrape a living together this kind of thing will only make their life even harder than it already is!¬ don't the eu care about anyone? why do we have to have all these silly rules? it seems to me that for a great number of years people have been fine with all this stupidity that they call legislation.
