Find here the long-awaited official reply by EU Agriculture Commissioner Wojciechowski to our joint letter of 10 avril that was written with various organisations representative of the sector.
AREFLH has not spared any efforts to keep the attention of the Commission, EU Parliament and Member States on the difficult situation of the sector since March and following-up on our joint letter of 10 April. These efforts have continued throughout and up to this day at various levels and in various forms of cooperation within our Task force.
The latest joint exercise and EU survey report that we have undertaken with UF-ENA-AREFLH and Copa Cogeca to measure the economic impact of Covid19 on the sector has been finalised and promoted in the last days.
We should make sure that we keep their attention going forward and even though we can all be glad the sector is getting back on its feet, though at various degrees depending on the countries, we certainly will have plenty of topics to keep feeding into the EU institutions, and certainly several that demonstrate the positive contribution that this sector is giving to society and the economy.
