🚜 🇪🇺 CIBE represents & defends the interests of EU #SugarBeet growers within the European Institutions & International organisations on fundamental issues since 1927 📢 🌱
⛔️ #StopMercosur ⛔️
INTA committe is holding a hearing on the EU-Mercosur agreement at today, yet key farming sectors that will be negatively impacted the most are excluded. How can we address farmers' risks due to this bad-outdated-deal if they are not given a voice?

🆕Document on how EU trade policy, through accumulation of Free Trade Agreements, undermines EU #SugarBeet crucial sector.
It is not balanced trade but strategic selfharm, with imported sugar often produced with subsidies, far below EU environmental & social standards!

A strong European budget is necessary for farmers and for our continent's sovereignty, security 🚜🇪🇺
Together with agricultural representatives from many countries, we demonstrated this morning in front of the Commission in favor of a dedicated, inflation-adjusted, strong CAP.

Thank you to @marossefcovic.bsky.social and his team in such turbulent time for having listen to us today together with COPA-COGECA joint coalition: a lot is at stake in trade relations, including with Ukraine. We count on you so that the 3 sugarbeet factory closures in 🇪🇺 this year be the last ones!

🧐 As Commission unveils its Vision for EU Agriculture, #SugarBeet growers welcome the renewed emphasis on agriculture as a strategic sector and the commitment to productivity as well as competitiveness
📣 We call for concrete action on risks, means of production, competitiveness and mirror clauses...

Last week CIBE met with EU Agriculture and Food Commissioner @christophehansen.bsky.social with other agri representatives. We raised our concerns regarding the revision of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement. Ensure a stable agricultural long-term trade relation with Ukraine is a priority 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Robust cross-border enforcement of EU rules is not here to guarantee safe and high-quality food products for European consumers, protect our producers and maintain a level playing field, nor include strong safeguards to protect the environment.

The Mercosur agreement does
❌not ensure fair competition for EU farmers
❌not prioritise consumer protection
❌not include strong safeguards to protect the environment
▶️Read how this bad outdated deal would be destructive for our European #SugarBeet sector

Our Italian delegate, Luigi Maccaferri, recalled how devastating this agreement would be for our sector.
The deal fails to create a level playing field for EU sugar farmers & producers. It is misleading for consumers as it fails to defend the EU's own standards.

🚩We stood with many MEPs & the Walloon Federat° of Agriculture to reaffirm our opposition to MERCOSUR's deal.
We call on MEPs to #StopMercosur:
- 🇪🇺 EU farmers, sustainable family farming model and sovereignty are at risk
- It offers no protection for the environment 🌳
- No security for consumers🚩

❌️🙅‍♀️No @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu , farmers of both sides do not share the same rules, this deal with Mercosur is certainly not a win-win for us ! This is a betrayal for EU sugar beet growers.
We call on Council & EP to strongly reject this bad and outdated deal❌️🙅‍♂️
