Thessaly cotton growers, including several pro-government leaders, are threatening to resort to their tradition of disrupting highway traffic if the government does not accept an extra 35,000 to 50,000 tons of produce to be subsidized from the European Union’s Agricultural Fund.

Quote:

The EU imposes strict quotas on production and the government is poised to declare that Greece has met its quota of 1,132,400 tons of cotton for the year 2004.

No Greece, you don't understand. When you sell your soul to the devil for a few grubby little subsidies, your are then the devils *****. Any desent and you will be punished most horribly!
