"Mr President, Commissioner Dalli, I very much welcome this opportunity finally to debate European milk production. The agreed dairy package was a significant first step. However, it is now high time to take a look at the present market situation.
What we are witnessing is not seasonal variation in the milk market, but rather a drastic drop in prices. Many producers have not yet come to terms with the pricing situation of recent years. There is grave uncertainty in Austria in particular. The measures implemented after the quotas are phased out after 2015 will genuinely determine whether or not our farmers survive.
I want to avoid a crash landing for our dairy farmers when the quota is phased out, which is why I am demanding concrete steps from the Commission. We need an adjustment of the fat correction mechanism and, above all, a reduction in surplus levies. We need to ask serious questions about whether it is fair to continue to impose heavy penalties on individual dairy producers. When we hear talk of a ‘soft landing’, then this needs to apply to all measures.
We need to pay particular attention to the areas that have no alternatives to milk production. I demand clear support for our disadvantaged areas. These regions cannot survive without milk production and livestock farming. The dairy market requires clear ground rules."@en1
