Christophe Alliot (Le BASIC), explains that in France, public money is used to support a small number of big companies, not only through CAP, but also tax cuts and other subsidies. These companies practices have negative impacts on society: health, environment, working conditions

Andoni Garcia Arriola, from ECVC Coordinating Committee, declared : "as farmers, as ECVC, we are hopeful. We have been demanding for years to have prices that cover production costs, and in this moment we have hope that in the next PAC, these demands will be taken into account"
