".
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank Mr Nicholson for his successful handling of the negotiations. We have decided on the abolition of the existing cost-intensive and market-distorting milk quota system and analysed the findings of the high level group for milk.
The dairy package that has resulted from the negotiations is an important first step towards a market and competition-oriented dairy sector. The formation of inter-branch organisations is being promoted, with these organisations to be given the ability to negotiate contracts on behalf of their members. The negotiating power of milk producers is to be bolstered – in future they will be able to negotiate on an equal footing, if they so wish.
It is also good that we will not be overshooting the mark. These contracts will not be permitted to make up more than 33% of the national and 3.5% of the European market. This ensures that there will be no new imbalance and that the necessary market freedom is retained. As there is no general requirement for contracts, farmers’ individual commercial freedom to make decisions remains secure. This is an important element of a functional market.
We in the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe will support the dairy package, and I ask you all to vote in favour of this package in tomorrow’s vote in plenary."@en1
