"Mr President, we are debating this issue here because there is a real problem in European society. The milk sector is once again being affected by a very difficult cycle of falling prices, and we politicians must find solutions, so that anxiety does not become a permanent state of mind for milk producers. This sector is of great social importance, so we cannot look at it solely from the competitiveness point of view. If we go down that route, total liberalisation and the lionisation of the market would clearly resolve the problem, but we also have to think about it from a social perspective.
The 2003 decision to scrap the quota system was made at a time when the craze for liberalism was at its peak. Over the last few years, we have seen that this is not the right remedy for the problems facing the European economy, and the debate here has also shown that we are now curbing common agricultural policy reform, with an growing tendency to extend the quota system to other areas, such as sugar and the right to plant vines. In other words, we cannot be liberal in one area, yet advocate intervention in another.
The Commission must therefore reflect on why the solutions adopted have not been able to resolve this major problem."@en1
