Dairy farmers keep pressure on EU after €500m aid package agreed

Today’s major protests by dairy farmers across Europe bring new pressure on the EU, just two months after it approved a €500m aid package for the dairy and pigmeat sectors.

European Milk Board member organisations will protest today in Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Spain, and ICMSA, also an EMB member, is holding press briefings on the EU milk market crisis.

The EMB says the milk market crisis has spread like wildfire, leaving farmers in every member state fighting for their survival and for preservation of milk-producing regions.
