The government approves a plan to reform the dairy industry, waiving high tariffs on imports and scrapping a centralized quota system.
Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter votes against the plan. His is the only no-vote.
The Finance Ministry celebrates the “important achievement in the struggle over cost-of-living,” noting: “Now the dairy reform will continue through the legislative process in the Knesset.”
