We thank Commissioner @jwojc for joining us today at our Presidium for an exchange on a number of topics and EU initiatives affecting EU farmers and agri-cooperatives.
#Fertiliser markets are in crisis in 🇪🇺 and the @EU_Commission has announced it will present a communication on the topic on 9 November. Here is a thread to understand 1⃣) why it matters and 2⃣) what are the ins and outs of this crisis from the farmers' point of view 1/10
Following our IED farm visit with @FWAgriculture, MEP @BenoitLutgen said "It's totally unreasonable to include the agricultural sector in this directive and to consider a Walloon farm such as these on par with industries like Arcelor Mittal."

Nordic & Baltic farmers on the #SUD proposal: different starting points must be taken into account when setting PPP reduction targets. We are among the most sustainable users of PPP & our reduction potential is therefore limited.
@VDombrovskis thank you for maintaining your common sence and standing up for fair conditions in #SUR for all farmers in the EU. Reductions in PPP use must be made in a fair and science-based way to make the #EUGreenDeal successful.
Deepest gratitude towards commissioner @VDombrovskis and his office for spectacular job and effort put into defending fair rules among EU farmers as well as doing the best possible for maintaining competitiveness of EU farming sector during these difficult times. 👏🍎
10/10 Is there any other way to store carbon today? 🤔

9/10 Is carbon farming the silver bullet?🤔
1⃣Carbon farming is only part of the solution in the fight against #climatechange 👉 Reducing and avoiding emissions must remain a priority for all.
2⃣There are still barriers to the development of carbon farming in 🇪🇺

For carbon farming to become popular, benefits must outweigh the costs.
This is why market approaches and policy interventions matter to secure a fair carbon price for 🇪🇺 farmers!
