"Mr President, the Commission proposal for the dairy sector is insufficient, particularly because this is an extremely volatile sector, which experiences cyclical crises and is being restructured with the announced abolition of quotas.
Regardless of the merit of the work of the rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs, this report does not miraculously transform the proposal into one suited to securing the future of this sector. The dairy package is not a replacement for milk quotas. Ultimately, little has changed: contracts agreed in the past are now described as voluntary; despite their different natures in many of the Member States, cooperatives are treated as if they were all the same and excluded from the diary package, as if all reflected the real power of the producers. The concentration limits set out are now being exceeded and no mechanism has been specified to reverse this situation.
Without significant new guidelines for the sector; with many producers still paying the bank loans they arranged to purchase quotas, which appear to be worthless; with the sale price of milk falling; with dumping and cartels operating at distribution level; what is the future for regions severely dependent on dairy production, such as the Azores?"@en1
