VOICED : Cubren Consejo Europeo con kilos de leche en polvo

In Brussels, dairy farmers protested by covering the European Council with milk powder, opposing the gradual sale of milk powder reserves meant to stabilize overproduction. The European Milk Bird union intervened during a meeting of EU agriculture ministers, with participation from several countries. The reserves, totaling 355,000 tons, have been accumulated for nearly a year. Brussels has refused to sell most of these reserves due to low purchase prices. EU farmers, who receive substantial subsidies, have protested against falling food prices and production costs.
