According to him, in Brussels, where on Monday held a meeting of agriculture Ministers of the EU member States, was attended by about 150 dairy farmers to turn their attention to their plight. For greater effect, they drove five tractors.

"In protest they staged on the circus Schumann, which are adjacent buildings of the European Commission and the EU Council, spectacular event with milk powder", — said Copies.

He explained that milk producers are dissatisfied with the release to the market of hundreds of thousands of tons of powdered milk produced after the period of lowest prices, the EU was buying from the farmers their products. Now the European Commission wants to sell part of the stocks of milk powder that, according to EMC, will inevitably lead to a new decline in prices for natural milk.

To resolve the crisis in the dairy industry requires the EMC to establish a permanent mechanism of regulation of milk production in the countries of the community, said Copies.
