"It is a pity that the majority in this House has missed another opportunity to seriously address the problem of farmers’ incomes and the growing imbalances in the distribution of income in the food supply chain. It has done so with impassioned speeches that acknowledge the problem but do nothing to tackle it, whilst rejecting the proposals of our group, which could truly have added real opportunities for solving the problem. More than forums and high-level groups stating what we have long known, more than the cynical insistence on this fanciful idea of ‘self-regulation’, what was needed were solutions enabling a break with current agricultural and trade policies, which have created the imbalances and injustices that we are once again seeing here. We regret the fact that the majority in this House, including the Portuguese Members from the Social Democratic Party (PSD), the Democratic and Social Centre – People’s Party (CDS-PP) and the Socialist Party (PS), continue to reject measures such as retaining the system of production quotas; establishing mechanisms to regulate the food supply chain effectively; establishing ceilings for trading profit margins, particularly for large supermarkets and retail businesses, using the price paid to producers as a benchmark; and measures aimed at ending dumping between Member States."@en1
