lpv:spoken text	"I voted against this report as I cannot support further EU regulation over the dairy sector, especially interventionist legislation that fails to satisfy the needs of UK farmers. The weakening of the position of Welsh farmers within the dairy sector, rendered unable to oppose aggressive behaviour exhibited by retailers and price-fixing cooperatives within the dairy supply chain, has led to the majority of milk being sold at lower than cost price. The UK Government, in cooperation with the National Farmers Union and other directly representative bodies, should have the freedom to develop legislation in the dairy sector in harmony with our agrarian needs that generates best-fit policies for maximum output, while ensuring an economically viable product and while protecting the industry and the farmers involved."@en1
