Farmers are not obstacles, but partners in the green transition
European farmers should not be seen as an obstacle, but as an indispensable partner in the process of the green transition, said Oszkár Ökrös, the Deputy Secretary of State for International Relations and European Union Affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture in Oslo.

The Hungarian embassy in Norway organized an agricultural seminar with the participation of the European Union mission leaders. Oszkár Ökrös presented the ideas of the Hungarian EU Presidency regarding the establishment of a farmer-centered EU agricultural policy. He emphasized that in order to guarantee European food security and protect our natural world, European farmers must produce in conditions that enable them to be competitive with agricultural and food industry companies outside the EU. According to the deputy state secretary, food and agricultural products to be delivered to the EU from third countries must also meet the environmental and climate protection, animal welfare and other sustainability conditions imposed on European farmers by EU legislation. In addition, disproportionate responsibility that seriously endangers their competitiveness should not be placed on agriculture in the process of the green transition – he underlined.

Otherwise, the farmers will not be competitive with the cheap mass products from third countries, which are also produced in an environmentally harmful way – he pointed out. Oszkár Ökrös emphasized that it is unacceptable for farmers to give up production and thus have less healthy, safe and controlled food in Europe.
