"Food market trends in recent years have been characterised by a series of paradoxes. One of these is that, while shelf food prices have been rising, farmers, including livestock farmers in the EU, are facing an income crisis which is threatening the existence of their farms and reducing them to poverty. We must be aware that the high quality standards imposed on livestock farmers come at a cost. In the case where competition from imports from third countries, which do not impose the same high standards, is not kept under control – let me remind you of the incident involving the milk powder from China infected with melamine – these costs will cause a drop in EU production in this area. Inadequate gestures are being made for the livestock farmers’ benefit. This is why the Commission’s intention to release a quantity of feed cereal is just one step aimed at helping the sector which must be followed by others as well. Consequently, I believe that the recommendations contained in the resolution, if adopted by the Commission and applied, will meet the demands of livestock farmers. Hence the reason I voted in favour of it."@en1
