".
Mr President, it is with a degree of sadness that I am speaking about the situation in the milk sector. Going back many years, I recall my home village, with hundreds of cows grazing on the meadows. These days, there are none. In many parts of my country, dairy farming has all but disappeared, and this is also the case in many other European Union Member States.
We, however, must do our job. We must prepare as best as we can for the abolition of milk quotas. We will certainly not be able to avoid crisis situations, of which we have already seen signs. However, Mr Nicholson’s proposal is a step in the right direction. The regulation of contractual relations is very important. Dairy farmers represent the weakest link, and their position needs to be strengthened vis-à-vis dairy processors, and it is in this direction that the proposal contained in Mr Nicholson’s report is heading. This proposal should be supported."@en1
