lpv:translated text	"I voted for the resolution on the farm input supply chain because high volatility in agricultural commodity and farm input prices has increased insecurity in farm incomes and in long-term investments by farmers. According to Eurostat, in the last decade, total input costs for EU farmers rose, on average, by 40%, while farm gate prices increased, on average, by less than 25%. We call on national and European competition authorities to address the abuses arising from the dominant position of agribusiness traders, food retailers and input companies, and to apply EU anti-trust legislation. Member States must improve the systems for collecting agricultural products. We call on the Commission and Member States to examine the role that producers’ organisations and cooperatives could play in organising collective purchases of farm inputs, with a view to strengthening the farmers’ negotiating position. The Commission must inform farmers and consumers about the need for more efficient management of energy, water and natural resources throughout the food chain, so as to significantly reduce the wastage of resources and food."@en1
