"Mr President, this is a very important question. Clearly there is a big difference between the profit being made by the farmers and the profit being made by the supermarket chains. In my own country, there are about 22 000 people employed in the dairy sector. The dairy market in Ireland alone is worth EUR 1 billion annually. I do not think that the European Union is doing enough to help farmers; and I am not talking about the grants – the grants are good. There are many things wrong with the market. For example, farmers ought to be paid for their produce within 30 days. This does not happen at all. In addition, the supermarket sells milk at a discount, but it is the farmer who loses money. I am disappointed that those problems are not going to be dealt with. We must do a lot more to protect farmers against the power of the supermarkets."@en1
