Goals and Positions
According to the company, the main purpose is to achieve cost-covering (higher) revenues (producer milk prices) for the milk delivered to processing companies. A mark of 43 cents per liter of milk is cited for this.
Since it was founded in 2006, the EMB has refused to withdraw from the European milk quota system on April 1, 2015 . The association fears a permanent slump in milk producer prices and calls for the introduction of a European crisis instrument.
As a signatory to the communication of the ARC 2020 platform of November 17, 2010, the EMB is committed to a paradigm shift in the common agricultural policy of the European Union . The focus is on sustainable, diversified agriculture and a renaissance of rural areas.
The association advocates breaking off the negotiations on the transatlantic free trade agreement between the European Union and the USA.
