lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, dairy farmers are currently facing a very difficult situation. Tens of thousands of farmers have been forced to cease production, but things may get yet worse, with the sector even largely disappearing in certain countries, even in some that are currently self-sufficient, such as Portugal. The reason is simple: it is due to the liberalisation of the sector and the increase in production quotas, which are being scrapped in 2015. As we warned at the time and experience has borne out, the announced landing has been anything but soft. Despite attempts to pull the wool over our eyes, there is only one reality: the free and deregulated market that they advocate will mean a split in production within the EU, which will tend to concentrate production even further in certain countries and certain large producers. The others will be gradually crushed by production prices that do not even cover production costs. The situation is all the more serious because they want, at the same time as scrapping instruments for regulating production and markets, to prolong the scandalous imbalances in the distribution of common agricultural policy payments between countries. It is therefore vital to reverse the decision to scrap milk production quotas. These should instead be adapted to the needs of each Member State and to their relative level of productive capacity. We need to put a stop to dumping between Member States, and to establish market production regulatory measures to guarantee farmers fair prices for their produce; prices that, at least, cover the costs of production. That is the simple issue to which so much legislation has been unable to respond."@en1
