It was a pleasure to open a constructive dialogue with Ukrainian farmers organisations Ukrainian Agribusiness Club​ Association (UCAB) and Ukrainian Agri Council today taking part in the event "Ukrainian Agriculture in the EU, the view from Kyiv". This event was an opportunity for Farm Europe to share our views on this major on-going geopolitical development. "We have today two elephants in the room of the Common Agricultural Policy and next Multi-annual Financial Framework negotiations : the EU-Ukraine enlargement which is not discussed enough, as well as the concrete ambition and plan of the European Union for its own agriculture, which cannot be the addition of 27 or tomorrow 28 different strategies", underlined Luc Vernet, Secretary General of Farm Europe. He added : "The process of preparing Ukraine's accession to the EU requires more than posturing, especially when it comes to agriculture. It cannot be a technocratic process and administrative procedures only. It requires political oversight and strategic thinking based on robust analysis". The European Union needs first and foremost to recover the competitiveness lost over the past decades in order to make it possible to produce across all territories, and not only the most productive ones. This is the way to be "United in Diversity", in particular when it comes to such a strategic sector : the EU needs to provide the capacity to the all Member States to make the best out of their agronomic potential, not levers for internal confrontation and fragmentation. The EU should therefore define a clear investment strategy, start combining environmental and economic performance instead of opposing the two, create new internal demand opportunities and last but not least define a true ambition on export markets with competitive standards for all. This will be the first step to build a promising common future. Thank you @AlexLissitsa & @AndriiDykun for the invitation, to Nazar Bobitski for the good cooperation ahead of this event, as well as to John Thomassen @JohnDeereBE for his forward looking contribution to our panel discussion.

¿Qué sentido tiene la PAC si no es común? ‼️La nueva PAC puede convertirse en un riesgo para nuestros agricultores si sale adelante tal y como la plantea la Comisión Europea. Así lo he explicado en la mesa redonda del Global Food Forum 2026, organizado por @FarmEurope

Une ambition stratégique pour l'agriculture européenne. Merci @FarmEurope et Yves Madre de nous avoir réunis, avec les ministres polonais @StefanKrajewski et italien @FrancescoLollo1, les députés et les syndicats européens, pour introduire les travaux du Global Food Forum et partager l'ambition stratégique d'une politique agricole réellement commune, avec l'objectif de restaurer la puissance alimentaire de l'Union.

.@crismaestre at #GFF2026 "The CAP only works if it is truly common. Political groups must remain united and seek common solutions: no to renationalization, which would undermine EU food sovereignty."

#GFF2026 @FidanzaCarlo It is essential to provide farmers with a predictable framework, as food security depends on stability - a prerequisite for everything. The EU framework must also support the economic sustainability of farms - without it, long-term food security and rural livelihoods are at risk.

#GFF2026 The CAP is often seen as a source of income for farmers, but its real purpose is to ensure high-quality food - a value that is too often overlooked. In today’s global context, other countries are increasing all forms of agricultural funding. Farmers are the true guardians of the land and have the greatest interest in preserving it: European policymakers should listen to those who work on the ground. Politics must move beyond emergency measures toward long-term planning and stability; we cannot operate day by day. @ettoreprandini_

.@rousseautrocy at #GFF2026: "We need a clear political vision: reconnect global partners around shared goals, defend responsible and necessary production, and make clear choices on the means of production - water, land, fertilisers and plant protection. Trade protection must match our standards, and political action must be more ambitious and faster. Europe needs a common vision, because only united can we produce the food and biomass we need. Agriculture and the environment should not be opposed - they must be advanced together."

#GFF2026 @CiolosDacian " We cannot separate sovereignty from a common European framework. European Union Strategic autonomy must be a tool to reduce our dependencies. Openness to trade is inevitable - but it must be based on common rules. Properly framed, trade can also strengthen our strategic autonomy."

Minister @StefanKrajewski bierze udział w debacie otwierającej Global Food Forum @FarmEurope w Brukseli. W dyskusji na temat rolnictwa jako fundamentu suwerenności UE i globalnej siły bierze udział także @AnnieGenevard francuska Minister Rolnictwa i Suwerenności Żywnościowej oraz @FrancescoLollo1 włoski Minister Rolnictwa, Suwerenności Żywnościowej i Leśnictwa.

.@StefanKrajewski"A strong and stable EU depends on a robust agricultural sector. EU agriculture has consistently helped protect citizens from supply disruptions, and the CAP should remain a key tool for stabilising markets and ensuring fair and reliable incomes for farmers. At the same time, Europe must strengthen its strategic autonomy in food production. This includes reducing dependency in supply chains by expanding the production of plant-based proteins and encouraging the development of innovative and sustainable crops. By combining resilience, transparency, and innovation, the EU can safeguard long-term food security." #GFF2026

Yves Madre, at #GFF2026: "We should recognise today that agriculture is not optional - it must be at the very core of the EU's strategy. The facts are clear: agriculture guarantees our capacity to feed ourselves and it is a strategic asset in relations with partner countries, providing the EU with an important lever in international cooperation and trade. Above all, agriculture is one of Europe’s greatest tools for independence: It supports not only food security, but also energy and bio-based production. By investing in agriculture, the EU strengthens its resilience, sovereignty, and long-term stability."

"Our strategic vision is not an isolated one: food sovereignty means European sovereignty - it is essential for our continent’s ability to endure and thrive. We need the European Union to invest in what forms its very foundation - in what binds everything else together: agriculture." #GFF2026 @FrancescoLollo1

#GFF2026 @AnnieGenevard "The EC's proposal represents a profound alteration of the CAP - a revolution rather than an evolution - that could jeopardize agricultural production and farmers’ incomes, depriving Europeans of viability and stability. Against the tide of history, we are disarming ourselves at a time when agricultural spending is increasing in China and the United States. We need to restore meaning and provide greater visibility"
