5. 'The EU dairy sector: developing beyond 2015'
"We need transparency"
"We need a more detailed analysis of the situation"
"We must have a monthly or quarterly market vision"
"In the context of the end of quotas, we must put in place a new system of data collection to provide industry analysis in a shorter period of time"
"So, I plan to offer this type of tool within the European Commission, creating a market observatory"
"It will be responsible for short-term analysis and present the data to the sector"
"Of course, this requires the involvement of the sector at national or regional level, and the involvement of producers and dairies"
