Thanks to Romania for the warm welcome!
DG Werner had the pleasure to meet inspiring young farmers & exchange with many public sector representatives.
Romania shows why the CAP matters: EU farmers produce food the world values and the future CAP will help them stay competitive
⛰️ Mountain areas hold 30% of EU farms.
Our new analytical brief shows they earn 20% to 23% less per worker than other farms in the same country, and how CAP support helps narrow the gap.

DG Werner at the 'Public Affairs Summit':
A greener, safer & affordable EU food system isn't a choice between competing priorities: we must deliver all.
The CAP remains central to this ambition.
Public authorities, farmers, food-chain stakeholders & consumers all have a role.
