"Mr President, I would also like to thank the rapporteur for his report. My constituency, the South-West of England, is the premier area for dairy production in the UK and, I think, one of the best in Europe. Our dairy farmers are forward-looking and increasingly efficient. Most welcome competition. They do not want or expect protection by market distorting measures. They expect support through sensible regulation.
However, it is clear that the balance of cost and income between producers, processors and retailers has become distorted over the years. This will not be solved overnight, but this report goes some way towards doing so. At a time when dairy farmers face increasing costs through, amongst other things, our demands from here on NVZs, greening measures, etc., let us look at the positive in this report: the ability of Member States to make decisions on contracts, and the flexibility that has been left there. Let us look at the positive and look forward to this being the first step towards creating value for farmers and consumers."@en1
