MANTOVA “With a final twist before ending its mandate, the European Parliament sends two signals to our agriculture, introducing a certain flexibility to the 2023-2027 CAP and voting positively on the TEA dossier, the Assisted Evolution Techniques that Lombardy is experimenting to first in Italy on rice. Two good news to close a legislature that is certainly not friendly to the primary sector, which from June must absolutely return to the center of community politics”.
Alessandro Beduschi, Councilor for Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry of Lombardy, comments on today’s vote in the European Parliament on the agricultural dossiers regarding CAP and TEA.
“For months and also by directly delivering a document to Brussels – continues Beduschi – Lombardy has been asking for a change in European policy in terms of flexibility of the rules, which cannot apply to all territories and all environmental and climatic conditions. The survival of the sector and therefore of those who guarantee us healthy and quality food, cannot depend on bureaucracy, which in recent years has respected those who work the land less and less”. “Even the TEA – he concludes – which we have struggled to experiment with, are an example of the desire to produce in an increasingly sustainable way. So far it has been paradoxical to see Europe asking farmers to reduce pesticides and at the same time preventing them from field testing innovations that could help them in this task. From June we must definitively change the register.”
