Farmers hope that the bill which will be presented to the Council of Ministers on Wednesday will make their lives easier. Since the crisis which engulfed the agricultural world in January, they have not failed to make it known that they are suffocating under administrative burdens, regulations falling from Brussels or Paris.

They are legion. Whether it is regulatory overtranspositions which make the rules more cumbersome and cause distortions of competition with foreign farms, these calendars (pruning, watering, etc.) which do not take the weather into account. These obligations which apply indifferently to small and large farms..., and, for everyone, of these endless declarations which transform the farmer into a Cerfa form writer.
