The spokespersons of the Town Council of Jumilla, Jesus Sanchez del PSOE, PP and Enrique Jiménez José Antonio Pérez de IU-LV have submitted a joint proposal on the crisis in the Spanish agricultural sector and will be discussed in the next plenary.
In this proposal, arguing that "the problems of the countryside in recent years can be summed up in a queue of sentences: lack of profitability of farming.
Today we can say that all sectors are in crisis, from dairy to grain through the wine, fruit and vegetables, sheep, pigs ....
If you dig a little, no doubt that the serious situation facing the agricultural sector has its origin in a deep crisis of the market with product prices and production costs sunk fired. "
They add that "it is unfair and unsustainable that the price of the products is below production costs.
ASAJA Agricultural Organisations, COAG and UPA believe that this dramatic situation, which crosses the Spanish countryside, only unequivocal commitment solved from the immediate, explicit and public administrations of all the farmers and ranchers through start-up a series of measures to restore profitability of the farms and to ensure fair prices for agricultural products. "
Therefore, we propose to adopt the Plenary Council agreed to request the Government to launch, along the remainder of 2009, required the negotiating table, at the national level, with institutional participation and the PAHO representative to achieve:
1.
