"Mr President, agricultural commodity prices always track global energy prices. So at a time when we have experienced falling gas and oil prices farmers have also suffered from over-supplied global commodity markets, the Russian trade ban, exchange rate issues, and in some commodities exceptional factors such as the end of the milk quota. So this is not a normal cyclical downturn. These are exceptional times and exceptional circumstances, and farming is caught up in a perfect storm.
So I make two points. First, I am happy that the Commissioner recognises the very tough times our farmers are facing and I compliment him on the aid package, which I think is both appropriate and welcome. Second, while the storm will pass, I urge both the Commission and the farming industry to learn the lessons of this crisis, and in so doing to turn it into an opportunity to build a more competitive and more resilient food sector for the future."@en1
