Jan. 24 (UPI) -- The European Milk Board said dairy farmers protesting market intervention dumped powdered milk onto an EU building in Brussels -- turning the scene into a white, lactose wonderland.
The protest occurred Monday during an EU Agriculture Ministers Council meeting held at the EU Council headquarters. The protesters argue the European Commission's proposal last month to again sell large quantities of skimmed milk powder in order to stabilize the market will depress prices in Europe and abroad.
