"As Shadow Rapporteur of this file, I worked hard at trying to have the interests of small farmers reflected within the provisions. However, I had no option but to vote against the report as there was no tangible obligations contained within which would result in the Irish dairy sector prospering in coming years.
And of course, while I commend Jim Nicolson for his work on the report, I would have preferred if the report was more adventurous in its proposals in terms of supports to farmers affected by extreme price volatility.
Farmers deserve a fair price for their produce and an ongoing situation whereby milk is often a loss-making product is unsustainable.
Much of the positive predications of what the post-quota era would mean for milk farmers have abated in recent times. It is clear that many in the dairy sector are finding the increasing price volatility difficult to manage and if action is not taken many small farmers will be forced out of the sector.
I have called on the Commission to introduce strengthened supports for dairy farmers who are dealing with increased price volatility in their sector and in the coming months."@en1
