In Wiltz 🇱🇺 for Europe Day. A personal return to where I was born, but also a reminder: Europe is not only capitals It is here too. In our rural areas, our fields & in the values that unite us 🇪🇺 Built on peace, democracy, freedom & solidarity, let's continue to celebrate Europe

In my discussions with 🇪🇺 Ministers at the informal #AGRIFISH in 🇨🇾 one message stands out: farmers can’t face growing risks alone From climate to market shocks, our job is clear: help farmers manage risks and invest in resilience. CAP must help them prepare, not just recover @cy2026eu.bsky.social

The solution is not less Europe, the solution is more Europe A rich discussion tonight with students at the @collegeofeurope.bsky.social in Bruges 🇧🇪 From CAP reform and financing, to food sovereignty, trade, innovation, and enlargement 🔀 essential discussions for the future of Europe 🇪🇺🌾

Sugar imported for processing and re-export will no longer enter the EU duty-free. That was my commitment to stand with our EU sugar producers & ensure fair competition— and today, we deliver 👉 link.europa.eu/CRXHpr

Growing up on a 🐄farm, I know the reality of the job. Today, farmers face huge pressures Our Livestock Strategy will deliver solutions to boost their resilience, competitiveness & sustainability.Excellence of our EU livestock sector deserves this! Thank you @europarl.europa.eu for your timely input

Farmers are being squeezed by rising energy and fertiliser costs. This situation is very serious. I am fully aware of it and very concerned. This matter has all my attention.

At #AGRIFISH in 🇱🇺 we discussed the future CAP and our proposals to make income support more targeted & fair — but also the reality farmers face now. Farmers are under real pressure. We’re preparing relief now and building long-term resilience, starting 19 May.

A pleasure to meet again Ministers Hendrik Terras, Armands Krauze and Andrius Palionis at our monthly meeting of Agriculture Ministers We discussed the state of our agricultural markets and the EU support being prepared. Stronger together! 🇪🇺🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹

Energy shocks have exposed our farmers to rising input costs and uncertainty. We must accelerate the shift to homegrown solutions, scaling biogas, biomethane & biofuels. To strenghten our energy independence and support farm incomes.

A great exchange with the first 🇪🇺-🇺🇸 Young Leaders in Agriculture cohort Farmers on both sides of the Atlantic face shared challenges—and huge opportunities. Connecting & innovating together, this generation has much to learn from each other to build a future-ready agriculture

Important discussion with @eib.org Vice-President Gelsomina Vigliotti on how to better support young farmers including with financial instruments The challenges are clear: a €62bn financing gap in agriculture & too many climate risks still uninsured. We need to step up risk management.

Good first meeting with Greek Agriculture Minister Margaritis Schinas From #CAP to energy and fertiliser prices, we agreed that close cooperation and effective systems are essential to support farmers and keep progress on track. 🇪🇺🤝🇬🇷

Great to return to Vinitaly in Verona 🇮🇹, celebrating the people behind Europe’s wines. Winemakers sustain rural communities, protect biodiversity and drive local economies. Proud we delivered our Wine Package in record time to help the sector adapt and thrive.

Bei SKW Piesteritz 🇩🇪 mit Sven Schulze: Eine starke EU-Produktion ist essentiell für Landwirte. Wir arbeiten eng mit allen Interessengruppen zusammen und bereiten die nächsten Schritte vor  🔜 Düngemittel-Aktionsplan, mit einem hochrangigen Dialog im April dieses Jahres 🌱

Aus Leipzig 🇩🇪: intensiver Austausch mit den regionalen Ministern und den ostdeutschen Bauernverbänden. Die zukünftige GAP muss stärker auf regionale Gegebenheiten eingehen🔀 ✅einfacher ✅gut finanziert ✅fair sein ✅den Landwirten sowie den ländlichen Gemeinden zugutekommen

While many enjoy the holiday weekend, Europe’s farmers & agri-food producers continue their work—caring for animals, fields, and our food supply. A moment to recognise their dedication, today and every day. Happy Easter! 🌸 🐣

#Vision & trade were at the heart of today’s #AGRIFISH 🇪🇺 agri-food depends on global markets w/ fair rules, reliable partners, strong safeguards for our farmers. That’s how we’ll move forward—expanding our network of trade agreements & diversifying partners Live press conf 📹🔴 link.europa.eu/j48hrc

I welcome this timely & necessary initiative @eusrgulf.bsky.social Ensuring functioning supply chains for fertilisers is key for global food security. In the EU, our focus is to ensure that fertilisers remain accessible to our farmers. ➡️ Discussion tomorrow in AGRIFISH

#WTOMC14 kicks off in Cameroon 🇨🇲 — a key moment for global cooperation on agriculture and food security. The EU stands ready to lead with partners, drive solutions, and deliver for farmers and citizens worldwide. 🌍 @wto.org

Wildfires can be devastating to our farmers, forest-holders, food supply & rural livelihoods. Abandoned land fuels fires. Active farming and forestry reduce them 🌲🌳 The CAP invests €3.9 billion in forest management including fire prevention, restoration and resilience.

Generational renewal starts with opportunity 🚜❌ Too many young farmers face barriers to finance when investment is most needed. Glad to sit down with young farmers & banking institutions today to bridge this gap and turn barriers into practical solutions 🤝 @eib.org @ficompass

🇪🇺 deal 🇦🇺 Trade policy is about balance: creating opportunities for our exporters while protecting their interests & our food production. That balance is at the core of this agreement. 1/3

Today’s dialogue on the UTP Directive was clear: progress has been made, but challenges remain. Uneven implementation and new unfair practices must be addressed. Farmers deserve fair treatment throughout the supply chain and fair pay for fair work.

Food policy only works when the entire food system is part of the conversation Yesterday I chaired the 1st Food Dialogue with my colleague Commissioner Séjourné: 🔹13 million people in the EU work in farming & food processing 🔹9% of EU exports You can read my speech 👉 ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Trilogue concluded ! We are translating one of farmers’ key demands into concrete action 👉 Today’s agreement will: 🧑‍🌾 strengthen farmers' position in the agrifood supply chain 🤝 reinforce producer organisations 🥩 protect meat-cut-related terms Thank you to the co-legislators!

Proud to see my 1st mandate proposal to protect farmers & small suppliers from unfair trading practices adopted @consilium.europa.eu Now we must match ambition with action: only strong, consistent enforcement across borders can create fair food supply chains for those who feed Europe 🇪🇺
