Sweden has a real thirst for European Union subsidies paid for school milk, which each year amount to 70 million kronor. But this amount could be reduced, since compensation will no longer be provided for dairy products used by school cafeterias in warm food…
…Schools can receive the EU subsidy for cold parmesean cheese sprinkled on a dish of spaghetti, the Board says, but cheese or milk used in warm lasagna in a school kitchen would apparently not qualify.

Let me get this straight…European countries receive subsidies from the EU for school milk. The schools pass along only 30% of this savings to parents (in the UK anyway: “On average, schools pass only 30 per cent of the combined EU and Top-Up subsidy to parents, retaining the other 70 per cent, or £5m, to cover their costs of administering the scheme.”) yet the European Commission that makes the rules for the program is adding more layers of bureaucracy to the scheme which will inevitably drive up the administrative costs. All at the expense of the taxpayers. For rules that apparently no one can adequately explain.

Can anyone make sense of this?
