Question for written answer E-001809/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Ioan-Rareş Bogdan (PPE)
Many farmers associations in Romania and Bulgaria have highlighted the fact that the Commission’s new vision for the common agricultural policy has been the key factor in bankrupting farmers in eastern Europe.
Farmers argue that making direct payments conditional on unrealistic environmental objectives constitutes an aggressive measure.
They also feel that reducing dependence on imports from third countries that fail to meet strict quality standards, rather than banning such imports, runs counter to the interests of EU citizens.
- 1.Why is the Commission favouring farmers in third countries?
- 2.How will the Commission compensate Romanian farmers who are again being asked to sacrifice their farms on the altar of chemical products not being tolerated in the EU?
- 3.How does it plan to close the gap between eastern and western Europe when it comes to farming?
