"Agriculture is a critical sector that plays a crucial role in the EU ensuring food security, generating income, and providing employment for millions of people. Despite its significance, agriculture has often been undervalued.

Nowadays in Europe, this sector is under the microscope because of its emission and has to respect some constraints that extra-EU competitors do not have, with the consequence of an economic disadvantage to our farmers and agricultural industries.

Pragmatism and common sense should be the basis of any strategy, especially where these have such a strong impact on a fundamental sector for all European citizens. This is even more important after the new geopolitical developments, which have made us all realize how much we depend on foreign sources for our supplies.

We should listen more to the needs of farmers and the agricultural sector, in order to make them more prepared for the challenges they will face in the future, and not hinder them with harmful and extremely expensive regulations."
