“The Ministry will grant direct aid of 300 euros per cow for those farms that are selling milk below profitability,” he said.
“The minister was estimated that this aid could benefit 2,500 to 3,000 farms,” he said.
Thousands of producers of Galicia (west) demonstrated to demand a fair price for milk.
Farmers complain that some farms are forced to sell their milk at prices 22-23 cents per liter, and demand the government a idéntido agreement that was reached last month in France where the guaranteed minimum price is 34 cents.
The minister however said in their statements that it is “absolutely false” that the French Government has set a price for milk.
“Neither France nor Spain can set prices because they prevent the Community competition rules,” said the minister.
The agreed price France was obtained after a negotiating table between producers, manufacturers and distributors.
“The important thing is not to generate false expectations, not misleading, and work to promote measures that truly can materialize” said responsible.
The Minister will meet next Friday with his French, Italian and Portuguese counterparts, before an extraordinary council of agriculture ministers of the European Union on September 7 .
