EU agriculture ministers discuss streamlining administration
Change language:
European Union agriculture ministers met in Brussels on Monday to discuss ways to reduce administrative burdens, Zsolt Feldman, the Agriculture Ministry’s state secretary for farming and rural development, said at a press conference afterward.
Feldman said that administrative issues, such as amending national strategic plans, had impacted farmers to the degree that they had become political matters. He added that the Agriculture and Fisheries Council had discussed more flexibly managing those modifications in a streamlined procedure.
He said several member states had raised concerns about China’s anti-dumping probe of EU dairy products, while others pointed to challenges posed by the free trade agreement between the EU and Ukraine.
In discussing a report on the strategic dialogue on the future of EU agriculture, member states welcomed the goal of strengthening farmers’ position in the food value chain but expressed concern that the funding earmarked for achieving climate neutrality goals was part of the Just Transition Fund rather than common agricultural policy resources.
‘If the environment changes, farmers must, too’
István Nagy, the agriculture minister, said on Monday on a podcast that “if the environment changes, one thing we can be sure of is that farmers must as well”.
EU agricultural ministers can go to the devil, most are sunk in moral turpitude. Agriculture in Hungary should be under the control of the Hungarian government; modified food products should be kept off Hungarian grocery shelves; no foreign chemically treated agricultural products should be allowed into the country and last but not least, no 3rd rate Ukrainian agricultural products should be shipped across the country.
Just a note to remind everyone Ukraine was ready to ruin the Hungarian agricultural market by dumping and cutting prices of genetically altered products to increase the allergy types of illnesses of Hungarian children.
