Members of the AGRI Committee hear from Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski how the situation on the EU agricultural markets has been developing following the invasion of Russia to Ukraine. It is expected that the war in Ukraine will have a significant impact on the European agricultural markets due to long-term cuts in imports. Russia and Ukraine account for over 30% of world trade in wheat, 32% for barley, 17% for corn and over 50% for sunflower oils, seeds and meals.

The impact of the war in Ukraine on EU agriculture: statement by Norbert LINS (EPP, DE), AGRI Chair and extracts from the exchange of views with Janusz WOJCIECHOWSKI, European Commissioner for Agriculture

D'athdhearbhaigh an Pharlaimint a n-éileamh ar rochtain shaor ó bhacainní ar ábhar pórúcháin planda. Is mian le Feisirí a chinntiú gur féidir le feirmeoirí uile an AE a bheith nuálach chun teacht ar réitigh ar an ngéarchéim aeráide agus ar aicídí planda. Níor cheart ligean do chuideachtaí saibhre ilnáisiúnta an bheatha nádúrtha a phaitinniú, monaplachtaí a chruthú agus praghsanna bia a ardú.

Gan aon phaitinní ar phlandaí agus ar shíolta a fhaightear go nádúrtha

To boost the use of organic and more environment-friendly fertilisers by European farmers, MEPs vote on revised internal market access rules, which would also help to reduce the dependence on imported phosphates, during the EP plenary session (23-26 October) in Strasbourg. Limits for cadmium, a heavy metal which could pose health and environmental risks, will also be introduced. The results are: 298 in favour, 234 against and 135 abstentions. Mihai ŢURCANU (EPP, RO), Rapporteur, expresses himself after the vote.
