lpv:translated text	". We had no objection to voting in favour of the report (which concerns Portugal), but would like to take this opportunity of pointing out that Greece has been outrageously wronged in the distribution of milk quotas and the Commission should quickly table a proposal righting that wrong by doubling Greece's quota for cow's milk. The production quota of around 700 000 tonnes set for Greece does not even meet domestic demand, which totals over 1 100 000 tonnes and, when it is exceeded, it costs livestock farmers a fortune in co-responsibility levies. At the same time, certain dairy companies are known to have made a killing by raking in huge profits at the expense of livestock farmers – who are forced to supply their milk at ever lower prices – and increasing the price of products to the consumer. Livestock farming in Greece is on death row and Greek consumers are forced to buy imported long-life products because it takes too long to get fresh milk to Greece from the Member States of the EU; and yet Greece has the potential to increase its output to meet the demand for fresh milk. We are calling for a fair distribution of quotas based on population figures, consumer demand and production potential."@en1
