"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, let us not fool ourselves. The quota system of recent years has not delivered a sound price guarantee. I think that the Commission needs to take good decisions for the whole European Union, and I therefore see three actions that are necessary.
Those production areas that are currently armour-plated in the quota system and that will be moving overnight from the quota system to a quota-free system need to be guaranteed a soft landing. We were promised that much. We need to do something to ensure that that happens. Commission, look beyond your previous limits and do something via fat correction, or make it possible to use the capacity still available in Europe as part of the total quota.
As a second point, I call on the Commission to make it possible for vulnerable regions, such as mountainous regions, to provide additional support via the first or second pillar. I say this because I also do not want to see Alpine cows disappear, but that is a structural problem, rather than just a market mechanism problem.
Thirdly, Commission, I call on you to now, finally, ensure a fair distribution of margins in the chain. Look at the powerful position of the supermarkets and ensure, for example, that it is forbidden right across Europe to sell things below cost price. In some countries that is already the case, and it should be the case right across the Union, certainly in respect of primary food products."@en1
