EU Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker looks set for a few bottles of free milk as part of a campaign announced this week by the European Milk Board (EMB) called “Milk for Juncker”.
The EMB is unhappy that president Juncker did not reply to its open letter last month calling on Commissioner for Agriculture Phil Hogan to be removed from office over his handling of the low milk prices in the dairy industry.
The organisation has now called on farmers across Europe to send fresh milk to president Juncker’s office to try to get the Commission to deal with a global oversupply.
The main policy of the dairy lobbying group is for a series of market distortion mechanisms to be implemented when milk prices fall below certain production costs.
The Dealer hopes president Juncker has some space cleared in his fridge.
