"Mr President, Commissioner, rapporteur, we have reached the end of our work. Commissioner, we agree with some of the points you just made. There is one word, however, that I wish to highlight: the word ‘quickly’. I do not think that we can agree on that. It was in February three years ago that the milk crisis erupted or reached its peak. That is how long it has taken us to reach a compromise allowing us to offer milk producers new prospects. I welcome the spirit in which we worked and congratulate our rapporteur, who, for this first, because it was a first for us to legislate together, enabled us to work in a spirit of genuine dialogue and with a shared desire to build something. We are therefore offering producers a new capacity, that of derogating from competition law and organising themselves into stronger units. However, Commissioner, we all know only too well that this is just one stage, just one step, and that we have not yet found the real solution and the real tools to move beyond the era of milk quotas. An exit phase should be prepared. That phase has not yet been designed. We have to continue to work on that aspect. As you said, we have not yet completely resolved the issue of vulnerable regions either. Even if we are offering them a tool, with the possibility of organising themselves better with the geographical protection mechanisms, we are still not enabling them to keep milk in those regions. It is absolutely essential for the report that you are going to submit to us in 2014 to set out solutions that allow us to maintain this activity in vulnerable regions, where grass is often the only production and where milk is often the only way of making a living. Without it, all of the work and all of the hopes that we have put in this text will be in vain for many farmers."@en1
