The development of the Common Agricultural Policy in relation to the dairy sector and its progress since 1968 are discussed, showing the intricacies of the pricing policy and the need for stabilization of the markets. Export of dairy produce with the various schemes adopted to enlarge the market, general consumer subsidies, and structural measures are described. The difficulties implicated in the skim milk surplus in major dairying countries and the limited markets are examined, world problems in the dairy sector are outlined and the need for a sound and constructive policy emphasized. The paper also stresses the importance of finding solutions for effective use of resources. ( Editor's summary )
