"Mr President, Commissioner Dalli, I am very pleased that you are here because I know that you are always sympathetic to our concerns. It is very good that you should be made aware of the problems of milk producers. Opinions differ on the milk quota, even within my own group. I often find myself in agreement with my colleague from Luxembourg, Ms Lulling, however we differ on this point. We, the nine representatives of the German conservative group (CSU) from the last electoral term, already voted en bloc against increasing the quota in 2008. The esteemed Commissioner at the time, Ms Fischer Boel, understood the term ‘soft landing’ to mean an increasing of the quota. Increasing the quota means more volume and more volume means lower prices. This is a fairly simple formula. This is precisely the problem we are faced with at present because there are farmers in the European Union who are delivering too much quota, causing a distortion in the milk market. I am against reducing the super levy or increasing the quota even further, because dairy farmers also need some contractual security. The quota will be phased out on 31 March 2015 and we need contractual security by then. We also need other important systems, Mr Dalli: fixed payment deadlines, net-net prices and binding supply volumes. These are the key points we need to work on in order to prepare for a market without quotas."@en1
