"I voted in favour of this particular motion for a resolution because it is a move in the right direction in terms of strengthening small and medium-sized farm holdings, despite the fact that it is not as strong as the initial resolution tabled by the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left. The resolution has not managed to break out of the mould of ‘the need to regulate competition rules’ and does not include the amendments tabled by our group on the adoption of maximum commercial profit margins, especially for large supermarkets, the immediate adoption of measures to stop dumping between Member States and the maintenance of production quotas in the milk and sugar sectors. However, it does recognise the problem of the unfair distribution of profit in the food chain, especially in terms of an adequate income for farmers, and it does abide by the definition of abusive and unfair practices by wholesalers with a dominant position and insist that they be supervised and penalised. Finally, it focuses on small and medium-sized holdings, including family units, and the need for them to earn a decent wage, to produce quantitatively and qualitatively adequate food at affordable prices to consumers, to create jobs, to promote rural development and to safeguard the protection and sustainability of the environment."@en1
