Fischer Boel: EU must not overreact to weakness of dairy market

THE European Union must not overreact or under-react to the current weakness of the dairy market, according toFarm Commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel.

“Certainly, I recognise the pain that many farmers are going through with milk prices where they are at the moment,” she said.

Speaking in Brussels, she said it would be an overreaction to delay the planned increase in milk quotas, as some have asked to do.
