Maëlle Mabecque

Au congrès des 80 ans de la @FNSEA cette semaine, pour rappeler l’importance du syndicalisme agricole. Sans lui, la voix des agriculteurs resterait inaudible : pas de dialogue avec les pouvoirs publics, pas de politique agricole efficace, ni en France ni à l’échelle européenne. Chaque crise le rappelle : l’action syndicale est déterminante pour orienter les décisions et parler des réalités du terrain. Cette année encore, elle a fait la différence. Pendant la crise de la dermatose nodulaire contagieuse, les syndicats responsables, dont la @FNSEA et @JeunesAgri, étaient en première ligne pour accompagner les éleveurs et structurer le dialogue avec les pouvoirs publics. Sur le #Mercosur, la mobilisation collective a permis d’influencer concrètement les arbitrages politiques. Et ce, toujours en faveur des agriculteurs, et donc des citoyens 🇨🇵 et 🇪🇺. Les agricultrices, les agriculteurs et tous ceux qui les accompagnent ont plus que jamais besoin d’être compris, défendus et soutenus. S’engager, c’est porter la réalité du terrain jusque dans la décision publique. C'est exigeant, parfois ingrat, mais nécessaire. Plein succès au nouveau CA de la @FNSEA et, au-delà, à toutes celles et ceux qui s’engagent pour apporter des réponses solides et durables aux enjeux agricoles. Du « serment de l’unité paysanne » d’Eugène Forget au « Dimanche des Terres de France » de Raymond Lacombe, des grands rassemblements d’hier et d’aujourd’hui à Paris, Bruxelles ou Strasbourg, jusqu’aux mobilisations de 2024 partout en France, des femmes et des hommes admirables ont façonné la défense professionnelle agricole. Même 80 ans plus tard, la @FNSEA a la responsabilité que ça ne s'arrête pas et elle a les ressources pour y parvenir. Je lui souhaite courage et réussite.

Ma réponse à Sergueï Lavrov.

COPA-COGECA Communications Director, Jean-Baptiste Boucher took part in the @ENAJ_tweets Symposium at the European Committee of the Regions, addressing leaks, misinformation, and trust in agricultural communication 📰📲 Our message in the panel: the gap between the EU bubble and on-the-ground farm realities is widening. It is high time for journalists, policymakers, and stakeholders in Brussels to spend more time on farms, reconnect with the field, and help avoid urban bias.

Lille : futur pilier de notre souveraineté européenne 🇪🇺 ! Le choix de Lille pour accueillir la future Autorité douanière européenne marque une étape décisive - pour mieux protéger nos citoyens, lutter contre les trafics & défendre nos entreprises face à la concurrence déloyale.

Félicitations à Lille qui accueillera le siège de la future autorité douanière de l’Union européenne - le fruit d’une formidable mobilisation collective. C’est le choix d’une métropole ouverte et pleinement européenne, une fierté pour la France. Nous serons au rendez-vous pour moderniser l’Union douanière et renforcer la confiance dans le marché intérieur de l’Union européenne.

⚫️Bad streak continues for European agriculture: Conclusion of the 🇪🇺🇦🇺 Free Trade Agreement in Canberra raises multiple and strong concerns for European agriculture, which is clearly and once again the bargaining chip of the EU strategy to secure broader trade and political objectives. A vision that responds to the emergencies of the moment, but whose medium-term consequences will be unsustainable for many sensitive farming sectors. 🔴The significant concessions on highly sensitive agricultural sectors-particularly beef (30,600 t TRQ), sheep meat (25, 000 t TRQ – with only 27% frozen,) sugar (35,000 t TRQ) and rice (8,500 t TRQ) have long drawn strong opposition and concern from the farming community. ❌In a post-#Mercosur context, the cumulative impact of successive trade agreements makes these concessions unacceptable. Even for a traditionally more offensive sector like wine, the potential benefits of this agreement remain elusive, with Australian exporters likely to see more benefits due to the elimination of duties. ❗️The absence of a comprehensive approach to managing the cumulative impact of these agreements continues to raise fundamental questions about the coherence and sustainability of 🇪🇺 trade policy. In addition safeguards mechanisms proposed by the @EU_Commission remain more like communication tools to promote hardly acceptable agreements than truly effective mechanisms that can be activated in the event of a crisis. We now await the full details of the agreement, especially on the outcome of GI protection and TRQ management, to assess its precise implications and impact. 🔗Read full press release: copa-cogeca.eu/press-releases

Dix ans après les attentats islamistes de Bruxelles, nous n’oublions rien. À nos amis belges, aux familles des victimes et aux blessés, j’adresse la solidarité fraternelle de la France. Jamais nous ne céderons face au terrorisme.

La Russie croit que la guerre en Iran va lui offrir un répit. Elle se trompe. Rien ne nous détournera de l'Ukraine. Notre soutien ne faiblira pas.

Pour être libre, il faut être craint. Pour être craint, il faut être puissant.

Direction la base de l’Île Longue pour y rencontrer les femmes et les hommes qui assurent au quotidien la permanence et l’excellence opérationnelle de notre dissuasion nucléaire.

🚜🇪🇺 From 18 December in Bruxelles to 20 January in Strasbourg, European farmers have shown their determination to save the future of EU farming. Farmers have been one of the backbone of European construction for more than 80 years. If you break the backbone, you can't stand anymore. Our message is clear: we will keep pushing for a strong common #CAP, for fair trade deals and legal certainty. The mobilisation continues ! #FarmersProtestEU👇

🚨🚜 BREAKING: MEPs pivotal vote validates EU farming community’s rightful concerns and mobilisation The result of the vote in the @Europarl_EN on the referral of the Mercosur Agreement to the ECJ clearly shows how divisive this agreement is. It also shows that the arguments put forward by the farming community, which just want fairness, have made sense to a lot of MEPs, across national and political lines. 🇪🇺 farmers and agri-cooperatives are the first to pay for geopolitical upheavals and unrest. Fair and balanced trade, coherent with internal policies needs to be a certainty, even in uncertain times. Trade policy cannot continue to reward lower standards while European farmers are asked to do more with less. The current global uncertainty is an additional reason for the EU to invest in and protect a sector that lies at the very foundation of the European project, that boosts the EU economy by contributing to a positive agri-food trade balance and sustains rural communities while providing citizens with safe, high-quality and nutritious food. 🔗Download press release: copa-cogeca.eu/press-releases

Mobilisation is ongoing in Strasbourg, where 700 farmers are still facing the @Europarl_EN ahead of a key vote on trade. Our banner has been deployed on the bridge in front of the hemicycle: MEPs don't accept the unacceptable! EU farmers and agri-cooperatives are reiterating their call for the EU institutions to invest in agriculture by delivering concrete policy answers. Yesterday, many MEPs from all political parties joined the stage, recognising the urgency of the farmers' concerns. Now, it is time to act! #FarmersProtestEU #StopMercosur

Mobilisation continues this morning with hundreds of farmers still in front of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, despite the cold ❄️ Farmers' daughters and sons took part this morning with their very own 🚜 #FarmersProtestEU

Even Grok agrees.

🔴🔴Act II of European farmers’ mobilisation, 6⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ farmers from 15 EU Member States stood shoulder to shoulder, blocking the streets of the European Quarter in Strasbourg with 1⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ tractors, during an action called by @FNSEA and supported by COPA-COGECA, to denounce the devastating consequences of a weakened and fragmented CAP, unfair trade agreements, bureaucracy and regulatory uncertainty that block sustainable investment and generational renewal while threatening the very survival and future of EU agriculture and food security. 🚜The EU Institutions now face a clear choice: stand with farmers and rural communities or risk undermining the future of EU security! 🔗Read full press release: copa-cogeca.eu/press-releases 📸@boerenbond
