German term

Garantiemengenjahr

German to English Other Agriculture
Bericht über den Agrarstrukturwandel in den Alpen. Hier der Absatz:

Die Zukunft des Agrarsektors wird wesentlich bestimmt sein von (a) der Überalterung der Betriebsleiter, (b) der Liberalisierung/Globalisierung der Märkte (sinkende Produktpreise) und (c) den geringeren öffentlichen Mitteln für den Agrarsektor. Die Milchwirtschaft wird insbesondere von (d) gesättigten Märkten und (e) der Konzentration der Produktions-, Verarbeitungs- und Handelsstrukturen (WIFO, 2004) betroffen sein. Außerdem wird (f) die 1984 von der EU eingeführte Regelung der Milchquoten nach Aussagen von EU-Agrarkommissarin Marian Fischer Boel mit dem Ende des ***Garantiemengenjahres*** 2014/2015 am 31.03.2015 auslaufen und wahrscheinlich nicht verlängert werden.

Lovely German word! I found the term "guaranteed quantities" on EU pages. My problem is how and where I should integrate the "Jahr" in the sentence. Anyone got a good idea? TIA

Cetacea Oct 20, 2006:
Actually, the Garantiemengenjahr won't continue beyond 2014/2015, either, it's just that such a year last from April 1 until March 31, so the last one begins on April 1, 2014 and ends on March 31, 2015.

Of course it doesn't, David! I simply read your answer and comment and wanted to point out my interpretation to you. That's all.
David Moore (X) Oct 20, 2006:
Melanie, that may be so, but it doesn't invalidate my answer...

guaranteed quantities year

To me, this reads as the last year in which guaranteed quantities are laid down, and this is how I would express it.
Note from asker:
How I read it is that the Garantiemengenjahr willl continue beyond 2014/15 but the milk quota regulation will cease to exist at the end of the respective year.

agree Darin Fitzpatrick : Yes, sort of like a fiscal year.
