"The collapse of milk prices that occurred between 2007 and 2009 remains stamped on our memories, as is the distress of producers. Following the difficult conditions faced by the dairy sector, a High-Level Expert Group on Milk (‘HLG’) was set up with the purpose of discussing mid-term and long-term arrangements for the sector. In its report, supported by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI), the HLG indicated, amongst other recommendations, that it is necessary to act to improve concentration of supply, which is low and results in an imbalance in bargaining power between farmers and dairies. In order to ensure the future stability of the sector, the HLG recommends strengthening the bargaining power of producers, which should result in a fairer distribution of value-added along the supply chain. I am equally in favour of the proposal to create a European legal framework that authorises the establishment of inter-branch organisations in the milk sector."@en1
