".
Milk production is of fundamental importance in the less favoured regions. It is therefore crucial that minimum prices cover labour and production costs and that family farming and land-based undertakings are protected. The transfer of production rights without land and lower prices, together with the absence of practical measures for regions with specific difficulties (such as the closure of joint milking parlours, the lack of support for the costs of transporting milk in inland or mountainous areas, etc.), have all led to the concentration of production and to thousands of farmers abandoning their land, specifically in Portugal.
We reject the Commission’s proposal to reduce target prices by 28% over the next five marketing
years. The lack of measures for combating the concentration of production and speculation on the economic value of milk quotas is unacceptable, as is the fact that no provision is made for updating the level of fat content in order to adjust it to the real average.
We agree with the rapporteur’s proposals for intervention prices to be increased with regard to the Commission proposal, for total compensation for price reductions by means of direct payments and especially with the supplementary subsidy of EUR 5 per tonne for the less favoured regions. We disagree, however, with the proposal to eliminate indicative prices."@en1
