The Polish delegation informed the Council about the critical situation of the pigmeat market in Poland, due to the combination of steeply decreasing prices and rising production costs.
Poland also took the opportunity to request the activation of private storage aid for pigmeat and financial support for producers , as part of exceptional measures.
While acknowledging the problems experienced by the Polish pigmeat sector, the Commission said it did not envisage the grounds for activating exceptional EU measures.
