"Mr President, thank you; I asked to speak because we still have some time left. I will be brief. I would like everyone who talks about the absolute freedom of the milk market, whether from my own group or from other groups, to take the following to heart: from 2015 onwards we shall also have to discontinue the historical payments per hectare. We cannot have a situation where milk producers in Latvia receive EUR 100 per hectare, while producers in other countries receive over EUR 1 000 on the basis of historical premiums. This does not constitute fair competition. A milk producer who receives compensation payments of EUR 1 000 per hectare can sell his milk to the market at a lower price, thus distorting the market. That cannot be allowed to happen. Starting from 2015, we must pay the same hectare premiums for all milk producers in the first pillar. We can expect some interesting discussions. My second comment relates to the market: we need to strengthen the position of producers and processors in relation to the retail sector. I fully support this. We cannot have a situation where milk producers and processors have to pay premiums and listing discounts and payments are delayed by periods of up to 100 days. Commissioner Dalli, we need to step in here to strengthen the position of producers and dairy farmers as a whole."@en1
