Dairy farmers launch final protest ahead of EU FTA signing http://colombiareports.com/colombia-news/news/9770-dairy-farmers-launch-final-protest-ahead-of-eu-fta-signing.html

Colombian dairy farmers from across the country will launch a new round of protests on Wednesday against the signing of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the European Union (EU), reports El Tiempo.Small and medium-sized dairy farmers from 128 municipalities are planning to hold demonstrations in the towns of Tunja, Duitama, Paipa and Chiquinquira to further voice their objections to the FTA with the EU, which is expected to be signed by Colombian President Alvaro Uribe in Madrid on Wednesday.

"What we want is to protest against this deal that will leave in the market only the strongest [dairy farmers]," commented Manuel Fajardo, president of the Federation of Farmers in Boyaca (Fabegan).According to Fajardo, the FTA, which many think could put upwards of 400,000 dairy-farming, Colombian families out of work, would create "real social problems" across his department.
