"Madam President, in the time available I will focus on the milk sector because – as the Commissioner knows from our meeting last week – it is in trouble in my constituency in light of the plunge in the price. That fall in price strengthens me in my view that abolishing milk quotas is premature and imprudent and will do nothing to stabilise the market.
Likewise, reducing the range of available market-management measures seems to me unnecessary and foolish in light of the instability now affecting the market. We need meaningful market-management opportunities if a bottom is to be put, and to be kept, in this market. Without this, we are headed for anything but a soft landing for milk.
I regret, therefore, that at a time when some Member States are showing flexibility – with France diverting underspend to the sheep sector and Germany talking about a milk fund – the Commission wishes to bind itself by reducing its scope for action by needlessly abrogating market-management measures."@en1
