<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"1.The amount of milk collected in Portugal has been rising sharply, particularly in 1999. This increase, and the consequent rise in production, affects specific regions, including the Azores Autonomous Region.  2.There is reason to believe that for 1999/2000, the amount of milk collected will exceed the reference quantity for Portugal, with some operators claiming the surplus could be as much as 100 000 tonnes.  3.Strangely enough, the Portuguese Government did not seek to resolve this problem within the Agenda 2000 CAP negotiations, unlike other governments, given that it was already apparent that Portugal had a major problem with its milk quota.  4.On 13March 2000, the Private Office of the Secretary of State for Agricultural Markets and Food Quality issued a statement on behalf of the government stating that pursuant to Article 299(2) of the TEU the Commission had been asked, within the framework of the special arrangements for ultra peripheral regions, to increase the milk quota for the Azores Autonomous Region to 125 000 tonnes, without prejudice to the current national quota laid down for Portugal.  Has the Portuguese Government approached the appropriate Commission services with a view to negotiating an increase in the Portuguese quota?"
