In this Council of Ministers, the European Commission (EC) will present its usual report on the situation of the main agricultural markets.

The Commission will also be asked to remain vigilant in view of the development of the wine sector campaign and special reference will be made to the market situation of sheep’s milk and goat’s milk.
