Milk crisis: failure of the negotiations, the protesters break camp – The Express

The event is over. We had no interest in staying until Monday. You require to hold, it was no use “, said Saturday, shortly before the 1:00 morning, before some 200 farmers, Philippe Jehan, president of the FDSEA Mayenne.

This is a postponement, we will break camp. The demonstration ended “, he added.

Mr. Jéhan justified this choice by the decision of the court made Friday evening and forcing the demonstrators to release at least one of the industrial site access or face a financial penalty. “ preferred break camp because it was a penalty Arago street. You should have seen the trucks leave. If the blocking was 5.000 euros per hour “, has he said .

The strategy we built it tomorrow. We will not surrender, we will not let go ,” said the microphone, before the demonstrators, Christiane Lambert, Senior Vice President of the FNSEA.

We will identify points on the map and we will go to each site Lactalis, among other such actions to continue and succeed “, she added.

As you say Philippe (Jehan), Xavier Beulin (FNSEA President, ed) is the most armed captain to identify solutions. We will do everything possible, with the JA (Young Farmers, ed), on that path “, she added.

– “ National Strategy ” –

Then Questioned by AFP, Ms Lambert said that, “ tomorrow (Saturday), a telephone meeting is scheduled with Xavier Beulin and organizes the nationwide strategy to return Lactalis on negotiations . ”

No date has been discussed by negotiators representing producers for a possible resumption of talks with Lactalis.

Begun Friday at 18H00 to Laval, the second negotiating session, following a session marathon 11 hours in Paris, ended shortly before 11 p.m..

We, the revaluation was asked is barely 10% while they (Lactalis) remained at 6% “, told AFP Sebastian Amand, vice president of the Organization of Normandy Centre producers (OPNC), which participated in the negotiations.

6% proposed by Lactalis roughly correspond to the increase of 15 euros for 1,000 liters to 1 September, or about 271 euros per tonne, unilaterally announced Friday morning by the dairy giant in a statement. 10% claimed by the producers represented an increase of about 26 euros for 1,000 liters, or 282 euros per tonne.

Given the price difference, we thought it was useless, that would not happen to agree. It’s useless to sit there and let the trucks, “said Jeremy Trémeau, president of JA of Mayenne.

– 300 euros per tonne minimum –

After the first negotiations in Paris, the mediator of agricultural trade relations Francis Amand, missing in Laval, had specified that had made a “ proposal last chance to 280 euros for 1,000 liters ” for the last five months of 2016 compared to a current price of about 257. This offer was increased to 23 euros , an offer accepted by Lactalis, according to the Ombudsman, but refused by the producer representatives.

The producers believe their production costs to a minimum beyond 300 per tonne. With a price of 257 euro / t, so they work at a loss and widening the deficit of their farms.

Nothing foreshadowed the decision to break camp, taken Friday night.

To go is to win, if allowed access to the company, she won forever “, told AFP Friday noon Pascal Clément, President of the dairy section of the regional Federation of agricultural unions (FRSEA) the great West.
