"I supported the resolution on the imbalances in the food supply chain because I believe it is now necessary to start the process to create European legislation that can regulate relationships within the distribution chain, avoiding weaker bargaining conditions for the agricultural sector. Today, there are many farmers and agricultural holdings facing unbearable increases in production costs. These additional costs are not, however, compensated by the prices paid to farmers by those who buy agricultural products, in particular, by large retailers. Our commitment here in Parliament is aimed at making our European agriculture competitive and, at the same time, at protecting farmers who risk not only losing bargaining power in the distribution chain but also seeing their own profit margins wiped out. We need to tackle these risks and insist on a clear definition of abusive and unfair practices often perpetrated to the detriment of farmers, and conduct an information campaign for farmers on the most common illegal contractual and commercial practices together with the instruments at their disposal to report abuses."@en1
