"I voted for the resolution on the imbalances in the food supply chain because the problems relating to European farmers’ incomes are steadily growing, and the prices paid by consumers for products are not reflected in the prices paid to farmers for their products. This undermines farmers’ ability to invest and could make them give up the business. We call on the Commission and Member States to deal urgently with the issue of the unfair distribution of profits in the food chain, especially so as to guarantee adequate incomes for farmers. In order to stimulate sustainable production systems, farmers need to be compensated for the investments they make and for the commitments they also assume in these areas. I welcome the Commission’s proposals on the CAP reform, intended to enhance the position of farmers in the food supply chain by supporting producer organisations and inter-sector organisations and by promoting short chains between producers and consumers, such as local product markets. I think that an information campaign needs to be organised at EU level to inform farmers about their contractual rights, about the most frequent illegal, unfair and abusive contractual and commercial practices, and about the channels available to them for reporting abuses."@en1
