i don't understand this line of thought.
> Nobody forced the farmers...
The markets did force them, right? If a farmer started making more money from using cheap labour, then the rest would need to follow suit.
> It was just a simple decision for them...
It doesn't seems like anything about this subject is "simple" as farming is big and wide.
1. some farming is loss making in the EU even with cheap labour
2. without cheap labour this subset would need to be subsides 100% (vs ~80% as it is now)
3. you simply cannot fight against ultra low wages from developing countries; you either adapt or die
