"Mr President, I will add my own congratulations to our rapporteur, not – as he might suspect – through gritted teeth, but certainly through a sore throat.
It is right that we acknowledge that he has worked very hard to pull together some very divergent opinions on this issue, but in my Group we still diverge. We do not believe that this package goes far enough. There are some points to like, and there are others to be rather less enthusiastic about, because this is urgent.
The milk market is not working: it is not functioning in the best interests of our producers, our consumers or our wider society. In Scotland, we have seen a 7% decline in our national herd since 2007. We see systemic imbalances within this market, and even those who are in favour of this report are the first to admit that it is not a silver bullet. It is not going to solve all the problems. Perhaps we should come up with a better package than the one we have before us today.
That said, there clearly is a majority for this package. I am glad to welcome some elements of it. Reluctantly, we will not be supporting the full package, as I fear that it misses the point entirely and that we will all be back here this time next year wondering why so little progress has been made."@en1
