"Mr President, there are two points I did not get a chance to make: one referred to a comment from Ms de Lange and my colleague Mr Agnew on supermarkets and prices. This is an issue which we need to look at, not just as regards dairy products, but also as regards fairness in the food supply chain. We are looking forward to the Commission’s report on this matter because it will feed into how farmers survive, not just in mountain regions, but right across the European Union. I support your efforts in that regard, Commissioner.
On the point of regional and territorial balance, I think this House generally supports the idea of family farming in the European Union and farming on a territorial basis. The dairy farms which I refer to in Ireland are family farms and we too, in our country, want regional dairy production; we do not want concentration with any particular region. I repeat the point that quotas may have given certainty and volume, but they did not give dairy farmers certainty on price or income in the bad times."@en1
