"I voted against the European Parliament report on contractual relations with regard to milk products. This report in no way challenges the total abolition of dairy quotas by 2015, when we can see the dramatic effects on farmers’ incomes of policies already in place to gradually phase out quotas.
We reject a policy based on the undistorted law of the jungle of free competition for a commodity like milk, and one which leaves the dairy industry with the power to impose its conditions on producers. On the contrary, we advocate a policy of supply regulation which is respectful of farmers’ revenues and food sovereignty.
It is not enough merely to recognise the imbalance in the chain and inequality of bargaining power; it is also necessary to equip ourselves with the means to maintain dairy farms throughout Europe and to ensure fair remuneration for producers."@en1
