On an alleged plan for the “retirement” of sheep and goats in Greece against a large subsidy 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner reports a big commotion in the breeders' sector in Greece as of late, following the publication of numerous press reports according to which the EU is considering subsidizing the “retirement” of sheep and goats in Greece in order to promote the interests of the northern dairy-producing Member States.He calls on the Commission to confirm whether or not there is any substance to these reports in order to reassure the farmers of Greece about their future.
