Charakopoulos optimistic on the issue of milk
Agricultural Development alternate minister Maximos Charakopoulos on Tuesday expressed optimism that the current problems facing the farming sector will soon be overcome and the foundations will be laid for a new, healthy and productive model that the country is in need of.
Charakopoulos was speaking in the central Greece city of Larissa where he represented the government in celebrations for the Independence Day of March 25 according to ANA-MPA
Replying to a question as to whether a proposal put forward by cattle breeders could form the basis of a settlement on the issue of extended shelf life for fresh milk, Charakopoulos said that dairy farmers took a step backwards and submitted a specific proposal.
"I would like to believe that everyone involved will rise to the challenge in breaking the deadlock on the issue of milk," he added.
