In its Farm to Fork Strategy, the Commission announced a number of important legislative initiatives. This strategy was welcomed by Parliament. In its resolution of 20 October 2021[1], among other things, Parliament endorsed the strategy’s proposed legislative framework for sustainable food systems, and set out initial guidelines for its basis.
Since the announcement, however, the publication of a corresponding legislative proposal has been postponed several times by the Commission, and it has not yet been submitted. Parliament has therefore been unable to advance legislative action on the issue of sustainable food systems for three years.
- 1.What is the current state of development of the proposal for a legislative framework for sustainable food systems?
- 2.What is the planned schedule for publication of the proposal?
- 3.To what extent have the results of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture been incorporated into the proposal’s preparation? This question is particularly relevant in view of the Strategic Dialogue’s recommendation to promote a plant-based diet in the EU.
