A super-levy system for the dairy sector: Consequences and alternatives
研究了欧共体乳制品行业引入超级征税系统的政策决策，并与限制性价格政策加共同责任税、大幅降价加直接收入转移两种替代方案进行比较，评估了1977-1988年间的预算成本和收入影响。
<sec> The policy decision to introduce a super-levy system for the dairy sector of the EC is compared with two alternatives: a restrictive price policy coupled with a considerable co-responsibility-levy, and a policy with a large decrease in milk price together with direct income transfers for dairy farmers. A benchmark policy, defined as the continuation of the dairy policy used during the period 1976–1983, functions as a basis for comparison with these policy alternatives over the period 1984–1988. Next, the article considers what the result of a policy change starting in 1977 would have been. The periods 1977–1983 and 1984–1988 are dealt with separately. The total effect (over the period 1977–1988) of more appropriate policy decision–making is estimated to be 20 milliard ECU‘s for budget costs and 10 milliard ECU’s for EC income. In the last part of the article, the consequences for the Netherlands have been investigated. Here, the somewhat different position of this country becomes clear. </sec>
