“We must overcome this polarization with dialogue. And you deserve fair remuneration for your work. Our goal is to support your livelihoods, and ensure Europe's food security. Each of us has a role to play in this sense".
The president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen said this at the first session of the strategic dialogue with European farmers, at Palazzo Berlaymont.
Von der Leyen recalled the challenges brought by the war and the Green Deal.
"It is urgent that things improve, the sector needs a long-term perspective," she said.
