European Green Deal: Brussels ready to simplify rules on grasslands. Ministers studied suggestions from Member States to reform the Green Deal.
Everyone is unanimous on the method to use the new rules, but no one is sure what it will look like. “ The Green Deal must also be a Product Deal,” stressed French Minister Marc Fesneau, calling for short-term measures. The atmosphere was electric and sometimes violent on Monday around the Council building in Brussels. Hundreds of tractors blocked the European Quarter of the Belgian capital, tires were set on fire and manure was dumped.
