La Cour des comptes européenne confirme l’alerte du Copa et de la Cogeca sur la future architecture financière de la PAC

L’avis publié le 9 février par la Cour des comptes européenne (CCE) sur la future conception et mise en œuvre de la Politique agricole commune (PAC) est considéré par le Copa et la Cogeca comme une confirmation institutionnelle des préoccupations de longue date du secteur, qui ont conduit à d’importantes mobilisations agricoles. Cet avis, expressément demandé par le Parlement européen et le Conseil, est sans équivoque : le plan de la Commission soulève de graves problèmes, allant de l’érosion du caractère commun de la PAC dans le cadre de l’approche proposée de Fonds unique aux incertitudes et aux complexités qu’il engendrera pour les agriculteurs.

Notre Vision – WeFarm4EU:

La prochaine décennie est cruciale pour le devenir de l’agriculture en Europe. De nombreux défis nous attendent. Nous devrons mener des débats compliqués sur le renouvellement générationnel, le faible revenu agricole, la volatilité des marchés et le changement climatique. En tant qu’agriculteurs et membres des coopératives, nous avons conscience de ces défis et nous sommes prêts à les relever et à affronter les changements qui nous attendent. Nous souhaitons offrir aux citoyens l’agriculture qu’ils désirent et revendiquent, à savoir une agriculture qui fournit un niveau élevé de sécurité alimentaire avec des normes élevées en termes de qualité, de bien-être, de durabilité et de protection environnementale. Voilà notre engagement pour l’Europe ! En échange, nous attendons des dirigeants européens qu’ils mettent en place un cadre politique permettant de cultiver l’avenir de l’Europe.

CBAM enforcement sparks 80% drop in fertiliser imports: another farming crisis looms?

The latest figures from the European Commission confirm a dramatic and unprecedented collapse in EU nitrogen fertiliser imports following the entry into force of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). In January 2026, the EU imported only 179,877 tonnes of nitrogen fertilisers, compared with 1,183,728 tonnes in January 2025 . Imports have therefore fallen to less than 16% of their usual level, a harsh reality that is now knocking at the EU’s door.

Yesterday, the European Parliament adopted the trilogue agreement on the Wine Package during its plenary session, marking a critical step towards supporting a sector facing a deep crisis.

European Court of Auditors confirms Copa and Cogeca’s alarm over future CAP financial design

The opinion published yesterday afternoon by the European Court of Auditors (ECA) on the future design and implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is seen by Copa and Cogeca as an institutional confirmation of the sector’s long-standing concerns, which prompted major farming protests. The auditors’ opinion, specifically requested by the European Parliament and Council is unequivocal: the Commission’s plan raises serious issues, from the erosion of the CAP’s common nature under the proposed Single Fund approach to the uncertainties and complexities it will create for farmers.

GSP Regulation, Copa and Cogeca deplores COM INTA vote that falls short of protecting EU rice sector from devastating import surges

COM INTA approved the provisional agreement for the GSP Regulation as was negotiated in trilogues in December 2025. Copa and Cogeca strongly regrets the approval of this agreement as it stands. We firmly believe that an automatic safeguard for rice is necessary to protect such a sensitive sector. Nevertheless, at their current levels the thresholds and surge quantities agreed would only allow the mechanism to activate once great damage has already been done.

China’s unfair tariffs on EU dairy products are unjustified retaliation!

China has announced provisional duties of 21.9% to 42.7% on EU dairy products, effective on December 23, following an anti-subsidy probe that reeks of political retaliation. Since the EU launched its anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicles in 2023, Beijing has systematically targeted EU key agricultural exports: brandy, pork, and now dairy. This decision is not just an attack on our dairy sector, it’s an attack on the livelihoods of thousands of European farmers who work tirelessly to produce high-quality, sustainable food and an attack on our Common Agriculture Policy, which is fully compliant with WTO rules!
