"Mr President, the European milk production sector has recently gone through a relatively difficult period, but this has also been the case for other sectors of the European economy. We are all well aware that, from 2008 almost up to the present day, there has alternately been either an economic or a debt crisis, which has inevitably had an impact on demand for milk and milk products.
As recent years have shown, even the European system of quota regulation in the milk sector has failed to head off the negative impacts of the crisis, and it is therefore time to abandon this obsolete system from the age of centralised planning definitively. Milk does not need any quotas in the EU, any more than buns, bread, cars or other commodities need them.
The transition to a quota-free market system should be as smooth as possible, and I therefore support the idea of Member States having the option of regulating contractual relationships in this sector as they see fit, but it must be done in accordance with the principles of the single European market. I therefore back the report by Mr Nicholson, as I believe it marks a step in the right direction."@en1
