"I voted in favour of this report because lifting EU dairy quotas in 2015 requires increasing producers’ bargaining power by concluding firm written contracts intended to strengthen the responsibility of dairy chain operators, as well as by encouraging farmers to get organised. The example of Switzerland, which abolished quotas in 2009, is useful for understanding the impact of the new system and anticipating its negative effects. In recent years, the decrease in demand and a stable level of production caused prices on the European milk market to collapse. Feed and output costs, including energy, increased as a result of higher commodity prices in recent years.
Therefore, I believe that, under these circumstances, the producers’ bargaining power vis-à-vis processing units should be strengthened for the purpose of a fairer distribution of added value along the supply chain. This would ensure a rational production development and would contribute to maintaining a fair standard of living for dairy farmers."@en1
