Butter bought for stock by EU subsidies.Before CAP reforms in the nineties, the EU paid dairies for stocking butter that could not be sold on the market. The stocks were then dumped on the world market or sold to biscuit factories at very low prices.
Notes
The EU may still intervene in agricultural markets.
