"Mr President, over the summer I took the opportunity to be briefed by some of those in industry in my region. When I met the leaders of the milk industry – the representatives of the farmers who produce milk in Northern Ireland – I was somewhat disturbed to find that the reduction by the European Union of the export refunds on milk powder, as well as other export refunds, has driven the price received by the farmers in my region to an all-time low. If this is not reversed, then, quite frankly, the European Union will be guilty of putting the dairy farmers in my region out of business. That is totally unacceptable. I ask the Commission to take this on board immediately, before it is too late. It is not too late to put together a restructuring package for the industry. The worst thing about Europe is that we always act when it is too late. If we act now, we can act in time."@en1
