Drongenaar. Werkt. Advisering Vlaamse Regering landbouw en visserij. Fietsfreak. Sympathieker in het echt. Ik denk, dus ik ben, denk ik. Caute.

Nog steeds wordt telewerken en kleine kinderen door sommigen als problematisch gecommuniceerd. Tip: probeer eens met 2 voltijds te pendelen naar Brussel om het verschil te beseffen

Uit een studie van NBB (https://t.co/HkI895gLKz) blijkt dat top 1% de grootste recipiënt is van sociale transfers van alle inkomensklassen, nl. €100.000 per jaar. Verticale as is jaarlijks beschikbaar inkomen. Sterkste schouders krijgen het meest.

While it stops short of a full revision of the Unfair trade practices (UTPs) framework—a key demand of French farmers during recent protests—the new package provides farmers clarifications, particularly for its cross-border enforcement. More on @euronews:

If we are to succeed in the transition to sustainable #FoodSystems, we need policy coherence. For once, #EUTradePolicy must be brought in line with #EUGreenDeal. This was the joint message of @beuc and @COPACOGECA this morning about the EU-#Mercosur trade deal 👇

[The Consumer Voice @beuc]

It's not everyday that BEUC and @COPACOGECA get together: the EU-Mercosur deal fails both consumers and farmers on sustainability goals. It's time to apply the same rules to imported food as what is produced in the EU.

“Een gelijk speelveld is belangrijk voor jonge boeren, op Europees en internationaal niveau. In Europa zijn we onderworpen aan strenge regels en voorwaarden, dan is het minste dat we kunnen vragen dat andere producten ook aan deze voorwaarden voldoen. We moeten consequent zijn."

Rest in peace, you’re not forgotten ♥️

To sum up, von der Leyen was uninvited from Notre-Dame reopening after that Montevideo bravado, but at least the EU managed to send to Paris its Commissioner for youth, culture, and sport

[EPP Group @EPPGroup]

We welcome the conclusion of negotiations on the #Mercosur Agreement.

We are creating the largest free trade zone in the world, with an additional market of 260 million potential consumers of EU goods.

It is a win-win for European & South American countries.

Soo let me get this straight… agri lobbies spent the entire summer squabbling over the strategic dialogue while the Commission was quietly scrapping the CAP?
