Furthermore, they recall that, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, a Common Agricultural Policy (PAC) which aims, among other things, to ensure «an equitable standard of living for the agricultural population, in particular by increasing the individual income of people working in agriculture. To this end, the EU declares that, when dictating the Common Agricultural Policy, it takes into account “the particular nature of the agricultural economy, derived from the social structure of agriculture and the structural and natural differences between the different agricultural regions.”
For the Polish think tank, these principleswhich have been accepted by the EU Member States, have been violated by the application of the “radical demands of the European Green Deal«.
The Ordo Luris request is in line with the hundreds of protests that have taken place over the past few months in several European countries and in which farmers fight not only for their interests, but also for their rights, in accordance with the rules set out in the Treaties.
For all these reasons, the claim, which already It has been signed by almost 6,000 peopledemands the heads of government of all EU Member States “to give a firm and concrete response, aimed at solving the problems of European farmers and citizens.”
Guarantee the right to demonstrate and the release of detained farmers
He think tank also ask that protesters be guaranteed the rights to freedom of assembly and freedom of protest, Without restrictions. They also demand the release of farmers arrested during legitimate protests and the cessation of criminal proceedings.
Just as the call for an EU Summit dedicated to the demands made by farmers protesters. «We demand the end of false instruments of sectoral dialogue, an example of which is the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of Agriculture in the EU initiated by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, last January,” they explain.
Restrictions for food coming from outside the block
In line with what the VOX party has requested in Spain, the petition demands the application of reasonable restrictions on imports of food from outside the community bloc“based on specific quantitative and qualitative indicators.”
And, above all, they focus on the adoption of decisions by the European Council that reverse the application of the different elements contemplated in the European Green Deal“which harm the competitiveness of agriculture, negatively altering both European productivity and its ability to feed Europe’s population.”
«The ideological demands of the EU not only lead to a loss of competitiveness of European agricultural production, but also threaten the very existence of European agriculture.thus undermining the food security of the various Member States and of the Community as a whole,” states the text of the petition.
Finally, they add the request for rule out mandatory fallow of agricultural land and the prior consultation of the new guidelines of the Common Agricultural Policy with farmers.
