Agricultural policy plans that are easier to implement are key
Simpler, more flexible and easier-to-implement strategic plans for the future of the EU’s common agricultural policy are key for both member states and farmers, the Secretary of State for Agriculture and Rural Development of the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) said in Brussels on Monday.

Zsolt Feldman, speaking to journalists before the meeting of the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council (Agrifish), said that the consecutive Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union expects specific proposals, suggestions and guidelines from the member states on how and how the implementation of the common agricultural policy can be made more effective. It is not only the content that is important, but also the strict framework within which its implementation must be carried out. The effect of this affects both the member states and the farmers – he pointed out.
The state secretary expressed the hope that the experiences of the member states presented at the meeting could be used in the conclusions of the Hungarian Presidency of the EU Council on the future of the common agricultural policy
In this context, he stated: “we are interested in formulating strong council conclusions with the community of member states as successive EU presidents, which will appear with the same weight, even reflecting the political will of the member states, in the European Commission’s next 100-day program creation, as next year’s common agricultural policy in its future legislation”.
Among the topics of Monday’s meeting, the state secretary mentioned that the council will deal with fisheries matters
The topic of animal diseases, administrative simplification, as well as imports to the Union, especially Ukrainian egg imports, and the issue of drought are also on the agenda. In relation to the latter, he highlighted: this year, among other things, the drought and the large amount of imports arriving in the Union are causing difficulties. “We are waiting for information from these member states and we want to have a meaningful discussion about how the member states see the possibility of progress,” the State Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) responsible for agriculture and rural development added in his statement.
