COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 30.03.2016 financing the distribution of dairy products as part of the response to humanitarian crises from the 
general budget of the European Union ( http://ec.europa.eu/echo/files/down loads/Commission_Decision_Dairy_products.pdf ). 
 
1. Product description  
Ultra High Temperature (UHT) drinking milk.  
 
2. Quantity and/or value of food aid provided  
EUR 30 million in two years (from 01/06/2016 to 31/05/2018). Out of this EUR 30 million, EUR 24 million has already been disbursed during the pre -financing 
phases and the rest will be disbursed after the appraisal of the final report. The World Food Programme will have distributed  a total of 17 ,500 metric tonnes of 
UHT milk to schools in support o f 500,000 Syrian children in two years.  
 
The milk will be delivered to schools across Syria during the 2016 -2017 and 2017 -2018 academic years, as complement of WFP's existing Fortified School 
Snacks Programme, or through the WFP General Food Distribution.  
 
3. Description of whether food aid is provided on in -kind, untied cash -based basis and whether monetization was permitted  
In-kind emergency food aid, no monetisation was permitted.  
 
4. Description of whether in fully grant form or concessional terms  
In fully grant form.  
 
5. Description of relevant needs assessment (and by whom) and whether food aid is responding to a declaration of emergency or 
an emergency appeal (and by whom)  
Needs assessment carried out by the World Food Programme concluded that the con sumption of milk has significantly reduced amongst poor households in 
Syria due to high food prices. The conflict has severely impacted the agriculture sector and led to a decline in food product ion, particularly dairy production. 
Syrian families typically  consumed milk and other dairy products on a daily basis prior to the crisis. At present, poor households rarely have access t o milk and 
in some cases it has completely disappeared from their diet.  
 
The programme is integrated in the Emergency Operations of World Food Programme inside Syria, and specifically  complements WFP Fortified School Snacks 
Programme (FSSP) launched in August 2014 to contribute to the overall objective of the No Lost Generation Initiative, an inte r-agency response strategy to 
ensure  the education and protection rights of children and youth are not compromised by the conflict.  The FSSP is identified as an integral component of the 
education package, in its role to support a return to learning and encourage regular classroom attendance .

Switzerland  
1. Product description  
Swiss food aid is made up of aid in-kind in the form of dairy products (whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, and therapeutic milk) and aid in cash. The 
final destination of the aid in cash is determined by Swiss non -governmental orga nizations and international organizations, inter alia, under the World Food 
Programme (WFP).  
 
2. Quantity and/or value of food aid provided  
Switzerland contributed CHF 67 million to the WFP in 2016 and CHF 70 million in 2017. Switzerland has continued prov iding CHF 20 million per year for the 
purchase of Swiss dairy products in-kind for the most vulnerable populations, with 3,976 tonnes of Swiss dairy products being purchased in 2016 and 
2,463  tonnes in 2017. The volume was lower in 2017 owing to the later reform of the credit (see below).  
 
3. Description of whether food aid is provided on in -kind, untied cash -based basis and whether monetiz ation was permitted  
Aid in-kind in the form of dairy products is provided largely through the WFP in the form of deliveries of dairy products of Swiss origin . In addition to direct aid 
in the form of food products, Switzerland provides financial support to the WFP. These financial contr ibutions comprise payments that are earmarked for 
specific WFP operations as well as payments that the WFP may use as it sees fit. In order to stimulate the markets and local production in the countries 
concerned and to honour its commitments under the Foo d Assistance Convention, Switzerland encourages the purchase of local or regional goods.  
 
The previous Swiss programmes for the in-kind delivery of dairy products have been reformed. As of 2018, the WFP will purchase these products directly in 
Switzerland in accordance with the needs identified.  
 
During the period in question, Switzerland did not resort to the monetization of its food aid ( in-kind and in cash), and Switzerland's food aid was not tied to any 
conditions.  
 
4. Description of whether in fully gr ant form or concessional terms  
All Swiss food aid is provided on fully grant terms and not on concessional terms (see question 5).  
  
  G/AG/W/125/Rev.9/Add.3  
 
- 36 - 5. Description of relevant needs assessment (and by whom) and whether food aid is responding to a declaration of emergency o r 
an emergency appeal (and by whom)  
Switzerland works closely with the WFP. It contributes to WFP operations in accordance with the criteria defined by this prog ramme. Swiss powdered milk is 
supplied in-kind and distributed according to the nutritional nee ds of children, pregnant and lactating women, and persons suffering from HIV/AIDS or 
tuberculosis. The allocation of any Swiss contribution is discussed with the WFP, and the WFP's opinion and emergency appeals  are taken into account.  
 
6. Description of wh ether re -export of food aid is an option under the terms of the provision of food aid  
Thus far, the re -export of food aid has not been permitted.  
 
Comment regarding the ES:3 notification table:
