The Strategic Dialogue on the future of EU Agriculture presented its independent recommendations to the Commission[1]. The President of the Commission has asked the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food in his mission letter[2] to follow up on some of the Dialogue’s recommendations. This includes the EU-wide benchmarking system in the agri-food sector.
The Commission is currently analysing how such a benchmarking system could be designed and what its scope could be. No decision on the exact nature or timeline for a proposal of this initiative has been taken.
The Commission does not have the information requested as regards the expected costs and projected emission cuts deriving from the proposed Danish agricultural emissions tax.
