Hungary supports the review of the special protection objectives for bees by the European Food Safety Authority, Minister of Agriculture Nagy István said at the Luxembourg meeting of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council.

The Ministry of Agriculture said in a statement sent to MTI on Tuesday that in his speech he drew attention to the key role of pollinating insects as they contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, the fight against climate change and the maintenance of agricultural production. There is no life on the planet without bees, so there is no strong agriculture without a beekeeping sector, he added. (MTI)
