"I voted in favour of this resolution because it is clear how there are enormous imbalances to be rectified in the food supply chain. Profits remain in the hands of the few, especially large retailers, while farmers often do not receive fair compensation for their work and their product. Consumers are the ultimate victims, since they have to pay a higher price due to the inefficiency of the system. I therefore welcome the efforts made towards developing a short supply chain, which can produce immediate benefits for both farmers and consumers. Those who abuse dominant positions, applying prices likely to destroy competition in the market, will be rightly punished. Farms, particularly the smallest, are part of our heritage to be defended and protected, above all, against the power that today lies in the hands of large retailers. Lastly, I would like to add that I am pleased that the House, by a very large majority, rejected an amendment aimed at reintroducing milk and sugar quotas: that system has shown itself to be disastrous, and even Europe has realised it, although shamefully late."@en1
