Dairy groups applaud Senators for supporting agricultural issues in EU trade agreement
The International Dairy Foods Association, the US Dairy Export Council and the National Milk Producers Federation praised a bipartisan group of 26 senators for urging US negotiators to address the needs of agriculture—including key dairy issues—in any free trade agreement with the European Union.
In a letter to US Trade Representative Michael Froman, the senators noted that the United States’ share of the European agricultural import market is shrinking due to both tariff and non-tariff trade barriers.
