We’ve listened to discussions & concerns to clear the path forward.

EU farmers safeguard our food security. From the outset, our objective has been a strong CAP supporting them & rural areas.

We now have a solid base to continue the work to shape the future CAP & MFF together
Today I had a constructive meeting with @president.europarl.europa.eu and PM Frederiksen to discuss the MFF.

We have clarified and strengthened our objectives in 3 key areas:

Securing the role of the regions, reinforcing the identity of the Common Agricultural Policy and enhancing governance.

Simpler rules, stronger standards! 🌱

Today, I’m listening to farmers, consumers and retailers to streamline EU organic rules, boosting efficiency without compromising quality.

Let’s ensure EU organic farming remains the gold standard 🇪🇺
