The EU needs to realign with its agricultural compass!
Start date: 12.03.24
End date:
In recent years, European farmers' concerns have been ignored at the EU level, with decision-makers viewing our sector as problematic, neglecting its strategic importance and overlooking numerous positive initiatives. This paradigm must change, especially given the rise in legitimate farming protests, highlighting the urgent need for the EU to reconsider its approach to agriculture amidst increasing challenges exacerbated by additional regulations and market pressures. Our message is thus quite clear: Let’s get EU agricultural policies back on track, put agriculture back at the core of the EU project and regain a strategic compass!
