The new hygiene Directives have recently been agreed and will enter into force from 1 January 1994. The preparation of a submission for Community aid to facilitate the necessary up-grading is under way.

Grant aid is already available to dairy producers towards the cost of certain equipment leading to an improvement in milk quality.
