"Mr President, please excuse me, I was supposed to come earlier, but I was tied up. I was explaining to French listeners what took place yesterday in Luxembourg.
I believe that the Council’s decision is a bad one, since the only word to appear in the text is ‘restructuring’. In France, we have gone from having 480 000 milk producers in 1984 to having fewer than 88 000 today.
Today, we are told that yet more producers must be forced out and that the money that will be recouped – this appears in the text – will be used for producers who have exceeded their quota. Production will therefore have to be concentrated still further and milk producers in the most difficult areas forced out. This is the wrong approach.
The money that has been given, the EUR 280 million – the figure has already been quoted – equates to EUR 50 per month and per farm, for one year. That is peanuts; it is almost a show of contempt for the crisis that the producers are going through.
Lastly, on the subject of Article 186, I should like to say that, at a time when we are moving towards codecision in agricultural matters, it is unacceptable for power, for a blank cheque, to be handed back to the Commission."@en1
