The regrets the attack launched by the Cyprus Cheese Makers' Association against Minister Kostas Kadis in a statement, with undocumented and misleading reports, the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment (MDAE) expresses through a statement.
Specifically, the Ministry states that "it is particularly surprising that the Association reports that 'the repeated statements by the Minister of Agriculture about unavailable stocks have led to pressure on cheese producers from abroad to reduce the price of hallemol', at a time when the Association itself had recently congratulated and thanked the Minister, before the House Committee on Agriculture, for his plea to all stakeholders to avoid discussing stocks."
"With regard to the Association's appeal to the Minister to table a proposal on steel mill management that satisfies the principles accepted by all stakeholders, the MGA notes that in the many hours of repeated meetings held on the issue with the participation of all stakeholders, the Minister had presented a number of alternative consensual proposals, which always clashed with the maximalist positions of both the Cheesemakers' Association and the Cyprus Cow Farmers' Association', the Ministry of Agriculture notes.
Finally, the Ministry of Agriculture points out that it is ready to discuss all the data concerning the production of products marketed under the name of halloumi, and not selectively the data that the Cheesemakers' Association wants to present.
