The new chairmanship of the COPA-COGECA Working Party on Cereals has been elected
Cédric Benoist (FNSEA, France) was reappointed as Chairman, joined by Vice-Chairs Guid Seedler (Raiffeisen, Germany) and Alexandru Tachianu (FProagro, Romania). On his reappointment, Cédric Benoist stressed that with EU cereal prices below production costs for a third consecutive year, it is crucial to secure access to inputs at competitive prices, including PPPs and fertilisers, and to reject the CBAM for fertilisers. He also underlined the need to continue pushing for fair trade agreements, as with Ukraine, and for a future CAP adapted to current realities.
