At the upcoming EP election on June 9 voters should “put an end to the hypocritical farm policy of the EU”, the minister of agriculture told public broadcaster M1 on Wednesday.
István Nagy said “while European producers are made to adhere to each single regulation”, controls on products imported through the Ukrainian border have been lifted.
“Uncontrolled Ukrainian grain pours into Europe in large quantities,” he said, adding that in April alone 1.4 million tonnes of maize and 750,000 tonnes of wheat had entered the European market. Nagy suggested that this year’s imports could even exceed last year’s record total. Ukraine has abandoned its traditional grain markets and is now shipping its grain to Europe rather than the Arab countries,” the minister said.
“Competition is impossible because for European farmers it means as if they had to stand at the start line with a leg or hand cut off,” Nagy said and called for creating “fully fair market conditions”.
June 9 will “offer a chance to replace all those that view agriculture through dark green spectacles … and return to normalcy”. He said the Hungarian EU presidency would offer a chance “to reverse trends … before the new bureaucracy in Brussels enters office we will have a chance to think freely without being influenced.”
Nagy noted that Hungary would host an informal meeting of his European counterparts in which participants would draft a recommendation for the community’s agricultural policy after 2027.

All EU farmers will agree with putting an end to the bad farm policy. Chemically treated Ukrainian agricultural products must be kept out of the EU.
This is just the tip of the iceberg though. Every single industry is identically affected by endless, onerous regulations–some justified, many not–that add burden and huge costs to the manufacturers and providers, who simply cannot compete on price with the imports where no such rules and regs exist.
This is yet another example of how the E.U. works AGAINST its own people. The dumb energy policies of shutting down coal while plowing billions into the imbecilic green B.S. is another. And then there is the deliberate facilitation of the invasion of millions of illegal aliens who bring crime, violence, massive financial costs, etc.
Time to put an end to this scam.
