"Mr President, the dairy sector is suffering a major crisis, in which public intervention is the only way of guaranteeing minimum prices that cover production costs and maintaining a network of sustainable dairy farms. Commissioner, I come from a dairy-producing region, Galicia, which is the main milk-producing region in Spain. In my region there are 10 000 small farms dependent on milk production. These create 60 000 jobs, whereas 10 years ago there were 30 000 jobs. The low prices paid to producers, which do not cover production costs, are scandalous, as are the agreements between companies and distributors within the industry on paying at below the cost of production. I have added my criticisms of the milk sector in Galicia to the proposal to scrap the milk quotas system in 2015. We call on the Member States and the Commission to take responsibility for continued regulation of production that addresses the challenges of maintaining employment and wealth levels, as well as the land, demographic and environmental balance, in order to ensure a milk sector that can guarantee consumers a quality product."@en1
