"Madam President, Commissioner, this is not the first time we have debated inequality within food supply chains and, whether we are talking about farm input or the final product, primary producers are always the weak link.
We are currently in the middle of a debate on CAP reform, and the greatest worry for the sector is the serious problem in terms of prices. Production costs are rising higher and higher and producers are unable to pass them on in their prices.
For this reason, it is necessary, at Community level, to strengthen existing legislation on agricultural contracts, inter-branch organisations and producers’ organisations, as well as promoting instruments such as price observatories, which analyse the price formation process through an analysis of costs, processes and margins, and, of course, to find a balance between the regulation of the agri-food sector and competition rules.
In this connection, I want to highlight how essential it is that the Commission adapts the scope and application of these rules with regard to agriculture so that producers or their inter-branch organisations can effectively improve their negotiating position."@en1
