I welcome the fact that the Nicholson report on the milk package was adopted today by a very large majority in plenary. The text is largely a response to the terrible crisis that the dairy industry went through from 2008 to 2010, a period during which the price paid to producers fell drastically. Of course, this report is not perfect but it is a first step towards ridding the dairy industry of quotas. My colleagues in the French delegation of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) have been particularly involved with this issue. Their tireless involvement has allowed producers in the dairy industry to henceforth benefit from new tools provided for by European legislation. These tools will allow them to best assert their interests and help steer their own markets.
