(32) Support for the production of cow’s milk in Madeira and Réunion has not been sufficient to maintain the balance between domestic and external supply, chiefly because of the serious structural difficulties affecting the sector and its problems adapting to new economic environments. Consequently, authorisation to produce UHT milk reconstituted from milk powder of Union origin should continue, in order to cover local consumption more fully, provided that this does not pose an obstacle to the collection and marketing of all locally produced milk, or hamper efforts to promote the expansion of local production. In order to inform the consumer correctly, it should be made compulsory to indicate on the sales labelling the method by which UHT milk is reconstituted using milk powder. This provision should also be applicable in Martinique, French Guiana and Guadeloupe, if France makes a request to that effect, stating the wish of local stakeholders to be covered by it and their ability to develop the milk sector.
