Milk crisis continues with dramatic demonstration in Brussels

Declining milk prices have apparently put many farmers in danger of bankruptcy, as supply exceeds demand despite attempts by the Commission to stabilize the market. When EU agriculture ministers met informally on Monday 5 October to discuss the matter, farmers from across the continent showed up in Brussels’ European quarter as well. Tractors blocked the street, as bonfires of straw and tyres burnt as milk was poured over the barricades protecting the EU institutions.
