This will be the eighth year of the Scheme's application since its launch in 2009, but it will also be the last year of implementation of the Scheme in its current form. A new School Scheme, merging this with the School Milk Scheme, is likely to finalised in the coming weeks and will enter into force from 1 August 2017.
In the 2014/2015 school year, more than 10.2 million children in participating Member States benefited from the Scheme, by receiving portions of fruit and vegetables in their school. This is an increase of 4% compared to the previous school year 2013/2014.
