"Mr President, it was a year ago in September that Parliament adopted the Bové report, following an in-depth debate in which I, as the individual in charge of this matter for the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, was heavily involved, promoting meetings and debates with European-, national- and regional-level retail, industrial and farming organisations. The report included an exhaustive series of recommendations to the European Commission with a view to a fair income for farmers and a better-functioning food supply chain.
In fact, since 2008, the Commission and Parliament have been producing communications, reports and recommendations, and establishing high-level forums and groups to solve this serious problem, without anything having changed in practice beyond increased awareness. We have returned to the subject and it needs to be said without hesitation that a significant proportion of the problems that farmers are experiencing result from the highly punitive behaviour imposed, above all, by modern retailers.
The problems have been more than identified. What has been lacking in the Commission and the Member States is a genuine political will to implement solutions. Until we have that, farmers and consumers will continue to suffer harm."@en1
