"Mr President, the Regulation we are debating today is not perfect. It alone cannot resolve the difficulties of a sector that has structural problems and also, because of the economic context we are living in today, problems relating to the current situation. Although it is not perfect, however, this Regulation is a decisive step forwards in the right direction.
The thing is that, even though we all realised some time ago that no market is perfect, we also realised there was a great need to include as many regulations and measures as we could to protect our farmers in this area. All this also impacts on people’s food security.
We also realised there was a great need for us to allow compulsory contracts for a minimum duration and a maximum amount, at least as a defence mechanism, because our farmers obviously cannot negotiate on the same footing as distributors, middlemen or collectors.
There is still much to be done. We will have to improve the security networks and make them quicker to react and more effective. We will have to work decisively to ensure that the sector is better coordinated within the value chain, verify that quotas are not being improperly distributed, especially in certain areas, and promote the quality policy.
With our positive vote, however, and everything that is still to be done, there is no doubt that many dairy farmers will today be able to see that Parliament has defended their most basic labour right – to be able to live in dignity on the earnings from their work."@en1
