"The demands of the market are diverse and are increasing all the time. In the European Union, the key aspects relate to food hygiene and safety, health and nutritional value, as well as certain social requirements. In addition, consumers are becoming increasingly more aware of the contribution made by agriculture to sustainability, climate change, food safety, biodiversity, animal welfare and the water shortage. Faced with these new commercial challenges, the European farmer’s main asset is quality.
The European Union offers the benefit of quality, which is attributable to an extremely high level of safety, guaranteed by current legislation, throughout the entire food chain, to which not only farmers but producers, too, have contributed. However, there are a few aspects capable of enhancing quality. I believe that it is the European Union’s duty to promote good-quality products, along with taking action to protect them globally. In this context, I think that tighter control must be exercised with regard to those organic products originating from third countries, thereby guaranteeing fair competition between organic products produced in Europe and those from third countries."@en1
