Italy is speaking for farmers at the EU level in their battle against unfair competition from producers from outside the bloc who do not have to abide by these same standards, Premier Giorgia Meloni said on Monday.
In a video message to the assembly of farmers' association Confagricoltura in Brussels, Meloni said the battle "against the unfair competition of products from third countries that do not respect the same health, environmental and social rules that our farmers and fishermen are bound to respect" is " crucial""For this reason, Italy will be the spokesperson for thefarmers' requests, and it will ask the European Commission to negotiate agreements with non-EU countries with greater incisiveness and determination, and to establish stricter rules and precise standards of reciprocity too".
