"The food supply chain is increasingly marked by deep imbalances between producers and distributors. Their economic ascendancy has enabled distributors to impose abusive trading conditions on the contracts that they sign with farmers, for their own benefit, as can be seen in paragraph 10 of the adopted resolution. These practices undermine the normal functioning of the competition market, as trade starts to play a role in which it merely reinforces the stronger position of one party, rather than being founded on negotiation that benefits both; in other words, a positive-sum game. Measures therefore need to be adopted to correct these disparities, such as creating price monitoring mechanisms at the various stages of the supply chain, from producer to consumer, investing in legal information services for producers, and promoting official forums responsible for identifying problems and finding solutions to the imbalances in these trade relations. I voted for this joint resolution as it is a step in that direction."@en1
