Today is a great pan-European demonstration by farmers in Luxembourg. Several thousands of farmers and ranchers of the 27 EU countries have gathered in Luxembourg to show before across Europe and the Ministers meeting there, all the gravity of the crisis they are experiencing.

Speaking during a press conference given today, the President of the Cup, Padraig Walshe, has stated the following: "Have several months left in a very serious crisis, especially in the sector of milk, which has been affected like no other." Our Ministers of agriculture should give an immediate response and that is why we are here to insist her. Because without farmers there is no food. And if nothing is done very quickly, it will be putting at risk the future of the supply of food products throughout Europe. "The farmers in mountain areas or disadvantaged, that produce 60% of the milk in the EU could well disappear forever."
