Government Support For Farmers (EDM1411)

Government Support For Farmers

EDM number 1411 in 2015-16, proposed by Liz Saville Roberts on 26/04/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Common Agricultural Policy and Farmers.

That this House recognises the increasing pressure on farmers as a result of falling farm-gate prices, on oversupply of dairy products in the international market, challenging weather conditions and a decreased EU budget; notes the particular challenges facing the dairy sector with the price of milk having fallen by 26 per cent over the past 30 months; regrets that the Government did not join other Member States in calling for further aid ahead of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council in March; welcomes the package of measures announced by the European Commission which incudes allowing Member States to provide up to â¬15,000 per farmer per year without falling foul of state aid rules; and calls on the Government to take advantage of the new package and provide the full amount of funding to farmers across the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
