"Mr President, Commissioner, our debate really has taken place in the shadow of dramatic events related to farmers spilling milk in protest. We are all deeply shaken by what has happened.
I wanted to refer to a problem that was mentioned by my colleague, Mr Nicholson, namely the way in which large commercial chains and hypermarkets have abused both their consumers and, in particular, their suppliers. I would like to remind you that the European Parliament, during the 2008 parliamentary term, adopted a written resolution - I was one of the co-authors - on the need to put an end to these abuses, and for the Commission to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. According to my information, action has been taken, but the process seems to be too slow. I would like to ask whether the Commissioner is interested in this matter and, generally, what the future prospects are in relation to these kinds of activities.
There is something really wrong with the economic policy of the European Union, as farmers receive less than 10% of the value of their products. This has to change. I would like to ask the Commissioner to take action on this issue."@en1
