4 Amendments of Luis Manuel CAPOULAS SANTOS related to 2010/0362(COD)

Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) There is a problem of price transmission along the chain, in particular as regards farm-gate prices. Conversely, during 2009 the supply of milk did not react to lower demand. Indeed, in some large producer Member States, in reaction to lower prices, farmers produced more than in the previous year. Value-added in the chain has become increasingly concentrated in the downstream sectors, notably with dairies and retailers, with a final consumer price that is not reflected in the price paid to producers.

Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14) The measures set out in this Regulation, are justified in the current economic circumstances of the dairy market and the structure of the supply chain. They should therefore be applied for a sufficiently long duration (both before and after the abolition of milk quotas) to allow them to have full effect. However, given their far-reaching nature, they should nevertheless be temporary in nature, and be subject to review to see how they have operated and whether they should continue to apply. This should be dealt with in Commission reports on the development of the milk market, and covering in particular potential incentives to encourage farmers to enter into joint production agreements, to be submitted by 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2018, without prejudice to an assessment in parallel with the report to be submitted by the Commission by 31 December 2012 on the impact of the gradual increase in milk quotas and accompanied, where necessary, by suitable proposals, in particular as regards effective mechanisms to control production.

Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) An appropriate assessment of the measures laid down in this Regulation, within the agreed time limits, should make it possible to reach a conclusion on their contribution towards achieving the stated objectives, namely improving price transmission along the value chain without squeezing producer prices and guaranteeing management that balances supply and demand, and should be accompanied by proposals for complementary mechanisms to regulate the milk market in the light of the results.

Amendment 123 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14 b (new)
(14b) In view of the problem relating to price formation along the value chain in the sector, the contractual approach of the measures proposed in this Regulation should be suitably extended to cover commercial relations between major distribution operators and their suppliers.
