As per reports, farmers are scheduled to carry out another protest on Monday (26 February) at the Schuman roundabout in Brussels from 1100 hours local time, against the recent decisions taken by the European Commission in response to their protests in early February.
• The protest will take place on the sidelines of a meeting of European agriculture ministers and tractors will be present.
• Members associated with the Fédération Wallonne de l’Agriculture (FWA), Boerenbond, MAP, the Fédération des Jeunes Agriculteurs (FJA) and the European Coordination Via Campesina (ECVC) confirmed their participation.
• The federations are calling for an end to free trade agreements, a halt to negotiations on the EU-Mercosur agreement, and a guarantee of a strong Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to support agro-ecological practices.
