On Thursday the French farmers´ organisations  APLI and OPL have published a joint statement together with the German dairy farmers´ organisations  BDM and AbL. The statement stresses on the solidarity among farmers in France and Germany. According to the statement, they are supporting every action that points out the disastrous situation in the milk sector. Nevertheless they do not agree to any statements that are blaming the farmers of another country being responsible for the bad situation on the milk market.  This joint statement is a reaction to the current protests in France on the frontiers to Germany, where French farmers had criticised German farmers by claiming they would support price dumping.  Please see the joint statement in German and French here.
