| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (16 a) Farmer-owned cooperatives protect the position of farmers in the value chain. In such organisations, farmers are both suppliers and owners, and their interests are represented in the cooperative's decision-making and pricing structures. The introduction of mandatory written contracts and compulsory pricing formulas, including provisions linked to production costs, would undermine this proven model. As owners of such cooperatives, farmers regulate their business and organisational relationships in their joint statutes or membership agreements within democratically determined structures. |
