Production of cottage cheese may be able to save the Polish dairy industry

After joining the European Union (EU), Poland will ask for permission to produce cottage cheese from milk that does not meet EU regulations in an attempt to save dozens of dairies and thousands of smaller farms from bankruptcy. Poland has already applied for a lifting of regulations on its dairy products for 3 years after admission and EU approval is likely. Today, only a dozen dairies out of 300 are allowed to export their products to the EU, and only one-third of Polish milk meets EU standards. The cheese would not be sold outside Poland.
