"The adopted resolution contains positive measures that are necessary in the current context of the severe crisis affecting the sector. That is why we voted in favour. These are just one-off measures, however, which do not solve the basic problems of the sector, particularly those of small and medium-sized producers, for whom the situation is likely to get worse in future, given the intention that has been announced to abolish milk quotas.
The battle that milk producers have been fighting, which goes beyond their immediate aims – to sell their produce at prices that ensure their survival – also has a broader meaning and importance that have to do with the kind of agriculture that we want in the future. The neoliberal model of agriculture, which promotes flooding the market with products from countries with greater productive capacity and promotes intensive production in some countries and the abandonment of farming and food dependency in others, must be replaced with a model based on the concept of food sovereignty and food security – the right of each country to produce in a sustainable way. In this model, public mechanisms for controlling production – quotas, adapted to each country’s needs – are essential."@en1
