Dear School Milk Friends,
FYI, on January 30, 2014, the European Commission published a proposal bringing together the School Fruit Scheme<http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/sfs/index_en.htm> and the School Milk Scheme<http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/milk/school-milk-scheme/index_en.htm>. In a context of declining consumption among children for these products, the aim is to address poor nutrition more effectively, to reinforce the educational elements of the programmes and to contribute to fight against obesity. With the slogan "Eat well - feel good", this enhanced scheme from farm to school will put greater focus on educational measures to improve children's awareness of healthy eating habits, the range of farm produce available, as well as sustainability, environmental and food waste issues.

Would be interesting to learn from list members how you think this will impact on school milk in the EU.
Kind regards,
Katarina
