5. SOUNDBITE (French) Guillaume Lefort, farmer:
"The goal was not to break anything, we wanted to dismantle the whole stand and to scatter it around the hall, and then the police pushed us in all directions, so the damage is due to the police. The idea was to show to the Minister and to the President (Francois Hollande) that there is a real problem with agriculture, not only with livestock farming but with the whole French agricultural industry which is suffering. It is absolutely necessary to do something. It is good to make announcements, but now we want action on all levels."

STORYLINE :
Angry farmers tore down a stand for the French agriculture ministry at an annual agricultural fair in Paris on Saturday.
Several of them, members of France's main agricultural union, FNSEA, were arrested after scuffling with police.
French President Francois Hollande was heckled at the fair by frustrated farmers who are angry at falling livestock prices and excessive bureaucracy in the industry.
The farmers say they are struggling against competition from big industry and neighbouring countries in Europe's single market.
