Recital 6
(6) ThereIn its a problem of price transmission along theresolution of 7 September 2010 on ‘fair revenues for farmers: a better functioning food supply chain, in particular as regards farm-gEurope’, the European Parliament noted thate 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 poducers’ costs were continuing to rise but that the prices paid by consumers did not adequately reflect the situation. There is a problem of price transmission along the chain: in most countrices, farmers produced more tthe food- processing industry and the food- marketing chain in the previous year. Value-added in the chain has become increasingly concentrated in the downstream sectors, notably with dairiesenjoy the largest margins. The power of retail trading undertakings is also increasingly cause for concern. Balanced conditions and a just distribution of added value along the food supply chain would benefit both farmers and consumers. A stable, secure and profitable production sector should be recognised as a decisive factor in the food supply chain.

Amendment 121 #
Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) With reference to the European Parliament resolution of 5 May 2010 on ‘agriculture in areas with natural handicaps: a special health check’, it is particularly important that, in future too, measures should be taken in certain areas where there are no alternatives to the burdensome forms of production and products established there (e.g. mountain regions, Nordic regions, grassland regions, etc.) to preserve milk production, in particular, in these areas even after the milk quota system has ceased to operate. Without a functioning milk sector, it will not be possible to preserve farmland in these areas. These measures include, inter alia, marketing measures and measures to protect geographical origin, traditional processing and recipes, traditional specialities and the quality specifications of milk products.
