“We should sustain the market orientation of the Common Agricultural Policy” – Hogan said at a press conference.

Because of the depressed milk market prices, the agriculture ministers of the EU countries will meet on 7 September at an extraordinary meeting. According to the leaked plans so far – they plan the imposition of “emergency measures”. (MTI)
