"The decision taken under the French Presidency to do away with quotas risked leaving milk producers without any safeguards in the case of market disturbances. We therefore welcome the ‘milk package’ proposal as a first step in the right direction. It was necessary to strengthen producers’ negotiating power in relation to the private processing industry by encouraging them to group together and promoting the use of contracts, which are only used for half of all production.
My Socialist colleagues, especially Stéphane Le Foll, helped to improve the proposal by ensuring the future of milk production in vulnerable regions where cheeses with protected designations are made.
There is still a great deal to do, however. In particular, it will be essential to shift the balance back towards livestock farming and provide other market tools in order to prevent any further crises in the milk sector. We must take the opportunity presented by the CAP reform to supplement this mechanism so as to guarantee farmers’ income and once again put them back where they belong at the heart of the food supply chain and food safety in Europe."@en1
