Recommendations were submitted to the EC to improve the situation of farmers

The European Commission will consider the report's recommendations and an appropriate policy response in line with its continuous support to the agricultural sector.

The Agricultural Markets Task Force (AMTF), chaired by former Dutch Minister for Agriculture and University Professor, Cees Veerman, today presented its report to EU Commissioner for Agriculture & Rural Development, Phil Hogan.

The establishment of the Task Force, made up of twelve independent experts, reflected increased concern regarding global developments in the food supply chain and, in particular, the position of the producer in that chain. The Task Force was asked, therefore, to discuss a number of relevant issues all with a view to improving the position of farmers in the food chain. (MTI, Bajnok Artúr)
