"I happily voted today in favour of the resolution on the crisis in the EU livestock sector. It called for vital measures to be taken to support the livestock sector in the European Union by focusing attention on the volatility of feed prices and adopting measures so that products imported into the EU meet the same requirements as those met by European goods.
The problem with the state of the livestock sector is prevalent across the whole EU. The livestock sector is faced with the widest variety of challenges: rising feed prices, market speculation, increasing energy prices and growing expenditure associated with the enforcement of European regulations. All of these factors have made production in Europe more expensive. These difficulties apply across the board to all livestock farmers throughout the European Union.
However, there are additional difficulties on top of these, which some new Member States are facing, such as my country, Bulgaria, for instance. In Bulgaria, only 10% of livestock farmers own their land, which consequently means that only these 10% can benefit from direct payments. This situation is exacerbating the crisis in Bulgaria’s livestock sector. Due to the lack of funds to buy the quantities of feed needed for the winter, many Bulgarian farmers will be forced to slaughter their animals."@en1
