<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Milk quotas were allocated on the basis of the quantities produced in 1981 and the implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1546/88(1) assigned to each producer the representative fat content for the calendar year 1985. This criterion meant that the guaranteed quantities of milk were equal to those for 1981, whilst the quantities of fat were those for 1985, totally ignoring the fact that in various countries the fat content rose considerably between 1981 and 1985. Until Regulation (EEC) No 1546/88 was published, the correction coefficient applied to milk to obtain the corrected production quantity allowed an increase in production of 0,26% for every percentage point of increase in fat content, whilst the Regulation lowers this figure to 0,18%. The correct coefficient would in fact have been 0,28. These discrepancies are also clearly pointed out in points 4,30 et seq.of the Court of Auditors' Special Report No 4/93 and have in fact enabled certain countries to be granted larger reference quantities, whilst milk producers in countries which are less-developed as far as stock-rearing is concerned, have been assigned a reference fat content which is much lower than the minimum laid down for milk marketing and have had to pay heavy fines in order to be able to produce milk with a fat content approaching the Community average.  How does the Commission intend to remedy this situation, which has favoured producers of milk with a high fat content, who are the ones who have contributed most to increasing the butter surpluses, because of calculation coefficients favourable to them? How does it intend to ensure that the producers who have not yet reached the minimum quality standards for milk achieve these targets without being heavily penalized as far as total production is concerned because of an inadequately low reference fat content, which has not made allowance for the low level of technological development of the dairy industry in those countries?    (1)OJ No L 139, 4. 6. 1988, p. 12."
