"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the heart of the problem is the lack of balance between milk producers and milk processors. Unfortunately theirs is a subordinate relationship and, let us be honest, milk processors are exploiting milk producers. We have seen clear examples of just how far they will go in a price competition and what additives they will add to certain dairy products in order to be able to sell them at low prices. Using additives and then distributing their products through multinational chain stores throughout Europe they generate a price competition that will sooner or later result in us having to import even our milk from China, which will ruin European milk producers. It is therefore extremely important for us to urge milk processors to exercise self-restraint through the regulatory system as well. The solution and the keyword here is food sovereignty. Only through food sovereignty can we ensure that people have access to dairy products at low prices and that these products are of a high quality throughout Europe."@en1
