A stronger position for European farmers
MEPs want farmers to receive a fairer share of the final price for their products. The new rules are designed to ensure that contracts are written and can be revised if market conditions change, and to provide better protection against abuses of market power by large buyers.
Cooperation between farmers is also to be encouraged. Parliament wants to simplify the rules for setting up producer organisations so that farmers can negotiate together and strengthen their position in the market.
Changes will also affect marketing - terms such as 'fair trade' or 'short supply chain' will only be allowed to be used in clearly defined cases to prevent abuse.
MEPs say this is a step towards a more stable and sustainable agriculture across Europe. The proposal aims to ensure that farmers are not the last and weakest link in the supply chain.
