Dutch Milk Foundation starts implementation of EU merger conditions for FrieslandCampina raw milk

摘要

FrieslandCampina has implemented the merger conditions for raw milk set by the European Commission. From 1 July 2009, the independent foundation, DMF (Dutch Milk Foundation), is responsible for implementing the start up premium scheme for FrieslandCampina's Dutch member dairy farmers. In addition, producers of fresh dairy products and naturally matured cheese in the Netherlands can buy, via the Dutch Milk Foundation, Dutch raw milk from FrieslandCampina.rnWhen it approved the merger of Friesland Foods and Campina, the European Commission placed conditions on raw milk to prevent FrieslandCampina dominating the raw milk market in the Netherlands.
