About 150 tractors participated in „Operation Snail“ in the center of Lausanne on Sunday to protest milk prices, which the Swiss milk stifle the industry.

This was announced by AFP, referring to the Swiss agricultural union Yuniter. About 150 agricultural machinery is moved to the station in Lausanne at a speed of 3-4 km / hour, making it difficult movement, the union representative said.
The goal of surgery is to inform the population about the situation of Swiss manufacturers who, like the Germanic and French counterparts are forced to sell milk at prices below their production costs, he said.
Liter of milk is now sold for 55 Swiss centimes, while its cost is estimated at 1 franc (€ 0.65) per liter. Reason for this is as Yuniter overproduction of 5 to 8 percent on demand, to which was reached after the removal of 1 May of the allowances in Switzerland.
Yesterday French and Germany have already taken milk protests against the price of milk. Association of German-speaking Switzerland has called for a strike, but union Yuniter, which also supports the European movement, preferring a more moderate action.
