“We demand the abolition of the Bolkestein directive”
But this market reopening of the dial and the quotations of the early afternoon will mean in no means the end of the malaise in the sector. Already, the Minister of Agriculture has recognized the need to open up a raft of reforms after calls for assistance to both producers and industrial meat.
The only concrete decision At this stage, the ministry announced at the round table, the publication “early September” a decree giving more flexibility to local authorities for their meat purchases in under 15 000 EUR 25 000 mandating the floor tenders, that in order to promote local producers.
M. Le Foll, the management of swine crisis is criticized by the opposition, promised, moreover, to defend the interests of French industry on the European front. “The subjects of social dumping, harmonization of environmental standards, production rules are not treated” , denounced the National Union of Meat Industries (SNIV) in a statement on 10 August.

By boycotting the market Plérin The two major fallers wanted to point out the shortcomings of a system that gives them “not enough visibility” . They got partially succeed. After the round table, Mr Le Foll has evoked “the need to change this listing” . The discussions are just beginning.
