No change occurred in the overall policy framework, but high international prices led to lower market price support in 2007 compared to 2006. This decrease could have been greater had administered target prices not increased for most commodities. Among the policy developments in 2007 were an increase in income tax deduction for farmers, higher milk quotas for organic farmers, and increased support through agri-environmental measures.
