Agricultural crisis: European farmers denounce “a half-response” from the EU. “This half- response will only provide very limited relief to our producers,” responded Copa-Cogeca, the organization of the majority European unions, and five sectoral federations.
European farmers accuse the influx of Ukrainian products of lowering local prices, and of constituting "unfair" competition for failure to respect the same standards. They are alarmed to see the current compromise serving in the future as a basis for a future renegotiation of the association agreement between the EU and Ukraine.
