"I support the compromise reached in the trialogue which will strengthen the negotiating position of dairy farmers with regard to the processing industry, despite the fact that it will not resolve all the problems. This package of measures for the milk sector is the final report from the high-level group which is intended to ensure a soft landing after milk quotas are phased out. It is amazing that there is absolutely no mention of milk quotas in this report. Young and ambitious farmers in Luxembourg and four other Member States who are attempting to prepare for the deregulation of the milk sector can only do this by buying additional quotas now, shortly before the end of the milk quota system. This involves a huge and unnecessary capital investment and puts them at a disadvantage when compared with farmers in the other 22 Member States. Therefore, five Member States voted against the compromise in the Council, which does not meet the requirements of a soft landing instrument. The European Commission has a monopoly on introducing legislative proposals. Therefore, I am calling on the Commission to take responsibility for this area and to submit a legislative proposal to the Council and the European Parliament in 2012 in order to rectify this obvious and costly error in the system. A linear reduction in the period up to 2015 in the super levy which is imposed on each kilo of milk that exceeds the quota or the abolition of the fat correction mechanism could at least reduce the negative effects of the regulation which is being phased out without harming the Member States that are not affected."@en1
