Spain has said it expects______compensation for its farmers.

The European Union has increased by 40% its compensation offer to farmers affected by the deadly E. coli outbreak in Germany, which has claimed more than 20 lives. This new offer is for more than $ 300m. Chris Morris reports from Brussels.
    The compensation offer has been increased after big fresh vegetable producers, like Spain and France, said the initial proposal was insufficient. But even the new figure comes nowhere near covering the full losses which the industry believes it’s suffered after many European consumers stopped buying fresh vegetables. Spain, in particular, has said it expects 100% compensation for its farmers after German officials initially and erroneously said Spanish cucumbers were responsible for the outbreak.
