ICMSA urges European Commission to speed up dairy support

Agriculture ministers have been asked to table proposals at the Farm Council meeting on March 14. The ICMSA is calling for an intervention price of 28cpl, and for Ireland to support France’s suggestion of an export credit mechanism.
“Having backed down from any confrontation with the corporate food retailers over margin-hogging, the Commission was duty-bound to drastically ramp-up the measures that supported milk prices,” said ICMSA president John Comer.
