EU needs to tackle below cost selling & ‘hello’ money to aid farmers – Kelly

The EU needs to tackle below cost selling tactics and so called ‘hello’ money to properly help farmers deal with market and price volatility. That’s the call being made by the Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly. Mr Kelly welcomed yesterday’s announcement by the EU Commission of a €500m (five hundred million) rescue package for dairy farmers and pigmeat producers. But he says the EU needs to do more to ensure farmers get paid fair amounts for their produce.
