"Mr President, the common agricultural policy has raised many doubts and will continue to do so. It will always have its supporters and its opponents.
The European Commission’s intention to review the common agricultural policy, and with it milk quotas, has raised concerns as well as hope, especially in the countries that suffer from it, including Poland. The quota allocated to Poland was insultingly low. A case in point is Germany, which has 80 million inhabitants, and has a quota of around 28 million tonnes, while Poland, which has half the population, is only allowed some 9 million tonnes of milk. In practical terms that means Poland has a quota four and a half million tonnes less than the thirteen to thirteen and a half million tonnes it should be allowed.
The question we would therefore like to ask is what would happen if milk quotas were abolished, particularly in countries such as Poland, where family-owned farmsteads rather than big farms predominate? Would the change to the rules of the common agricultural policy not force these farms into bankruptcy?"@en1
