Asaja Murcia, Alfonso Gálvez Caravaca, holder was "pleased" with the decision taken by the Commissioner for agriculture, Mariann Fischer Boel, consisting of authorising the aid to producers for the private storage of olive oil over a period of six months and a maximum of 110 000 tonnes. The measure aims to combat the collapse of prices for olive oil that has been suffering in recent months.
You do not obstaste, the leader of the agrarian organization has insisted on the need to extend the period of validity of this measure, which affects the types of olive oil 'Virgin' and 'extra virgin'. Thus, Gálvez Caravaca has recalled that "in Brussels still you can always modify this proposal and expand the measurement, both in the maximum amount of tonnes permitted storage, as well as the period established for the duration of aid".
