Minister of Agriculture Nagy István wrote to the European Commission in order to reduce the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the poultry sector and to resolve the current situation. The Minister initiated an extraordinary review of the conditions of imports from third countries in a letter to Phil Hogan, the commission’s trade commissioner.

The Minister said: Hungary, like other EU member states, is struggling with the answers to the global health and economic crisis. As a result of the measures taken to curb the epidemic, the temporarily limited tourism, hospitality and catering (HORECA) sector required a rapid reorganization of agricultural sales from the sector, from the service sector to retail serving consumers.
