"I voted in favour of the report submitted by Mrs Batzeli (Greece) as I believe that the EU must come to the aid of producers and consumers.
Due to abuses of their market dominance by large retail chains, the prices paid by European consumers are, on average, five times higher than farm gate prices. Farmers generally receive around 8% of the final retail price.
We urge the introduction of EU policies which facilitate direct contacts between producers and consumers. The EU must support the use of new technologies and the Internet to provide consumers with more detailed information about products, while, at the same time, facilitating producers’ access to the market.
Measures are also needed to assign greater importance to the concept of ‘local products’ and to provide more effective support to traditional food markets or other traditional types of commerce.
Traditional Romanian products must be supported on the European market."@en1
