"The Commission proposal, in itself, is a recognition of the inadequacy of the current tools used to regulate the markets. The last crisis was exceptionally long and severe. It caused the disappearance of smaller holdings and difficulties for a large number of young farmers. The lack of a regulatory system accentuated this movement in favour of large, often integrated, production units. It is not possible to ask producers alone to make an extra effort: many already belong to equalisation funds. We believe we should support them by creating efficient tools not only to resolve the crises but also to better control the markets, improve quality and promote their products.
Pig farming is still essentially a family activity, based on responsibility. It supports the economic activity of the rural community, often in regions where there are few alternatives. We have chosen to fight in defence of a living and diverse rural world: maintaining small- and medium-sized enterprises, be they agricultural, industrial, or small-scale cottage industries, is the cornerstone of this. The creation of a regulatory fund for pigmeat production, as amended, does not place the free market in the balance but will protect small family holdings."@en1
