The European Court of Justice
on Wednesday ruled that Italy was non-compliant regarding EU
milk quotas.
"Italy is non-compliant on milk quotas as it did not ensure
that the additional levy was charged to those who were
responsible for overproduction between 1995 and 2009," the
sentence said.
According to agriculture funding agency AGEA, this means that
Italy should recover 1.255 billion euros from milk producers,
ANSA has learned.
However, only 796 million euros of that money can be demanded
at the moment, sources said, as 459 million euros of the money
is involved in legal disputes.
