In reaction to the deteriorating situation, the Commission representative pointed out that support measures had already been taken, including export refunds for butter, cheese and whole and skimmed milk powder, in addition to the introduction of private storage aid for butter (with effect already from 1 January 2009) and intervention for butter and skimmed milk powder (as from 1 March).
Reageerimaks halvenevale olukorrale, juhtis komisjoni esindaja tähelepanu, et toetusmeetmeid on juba võetud, sealhulgas või, juustu, täispiima- ja lõssipulbri eksporditoetused, mis täiendavad või eraladustusabi andmist (juba alates 1. jaanuarist 2009) ning või ja lõssipulbri osas sekkumist (alates 1. märtsist).
