COAG regrets that products from outside the EU “do not have the same requirements but they are on the same shelf”.

Hundreds of farmers with their tractors have destroyed almost all the main highways of our country today. Some concentrations and protests that have taken place outside the main agricultural professional organizations have taken place through social networks and private messaging. Protests due to loss of purchasing power in the primary sector, PoLack of real control on exports from third countriesWhich enter Europe without the phyto-sanitary requirements required here, which means lower prices.

Miguel Padilla, secretary general of COAG, coordinator of farmers and livestock organizations, explains in La Brujuala that the mobilization has come forward surprisingly: “We have had a roadmap and a calendar of mobilization prepared for a few months. It has been brought forward Gone “those performances throughout the European slipstream. If there are no acts of violence, I respect them completely but I don’t know who the negotiator is.”

“If there is a split it will be for other reasons, but not for demands that are the same as what we have asked for in recent years. The common element is the problem of agricultural policy. We have to solve this with political will.“, Add.

One of his main complaints is the simplification of CAP rules: “At the European level we have all the bureaucracy and what is included in the CAP. The latest development is negative, eco-governance because it is driving professionals out of the sector. We need this. is a simplification of CAP”.

Also eliminate unfair competition from products outside the EU: “There is no need for products coming from outside the EU and this is unfair competition. “Treaties with countries outside the EU do not have the same requirements and put them on the same page.”
