In view of the catastrophic situation facing EU dairy farmers, EU farm leaders would like to invite you to a press conference on October 5 at Residence Palace at 13.00 h to discuss measures to help alleviate the drastic market situation. This will be followed by a buffet lunch.

Copa-Cogeca argues that the crisis in the dairy sector is causing major income losses for farmers, causing many of them to go out of business. Copa-Cogeca consequently calls on EU Agriculture Ministers to give their full support to measures aimed at alleviating the current crisis. We need strong market measures and we need them now.

We look forward to seeing you there,

Best wishes,

Amanda Cheesley
