Azorean Government defends access of regional dairy companies to EU emergency measures
The Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Environment is monitoring the development of urgent measures announced by the European Commission with the aim of supporting the dairy sector, following the trade embargo imposed by the Russian Federation. These measures will be under discussion at the Council of Ministers of Agriculture on September 5.
As Commissioner Ciolos revealed, the European Commission intends to support the private storage of butter, skimmed milk powder and, possibly, certain cheeses.
According to the Government of the Azores, regional companies that may be eventually harmed, directly and indirectly, by the trade embargo imposed by the Russian Federation should be able to benefit from such measures or others that may be determined.
