“Beter integration of agri-food trade interests needed in current EU policy dossiers”—CELCAA releases seven essential recommendations for agri-food traders and policymakers to think about ahead of the European elections.
CELCAA – The European Liaison Committee for Agricultural and Agri-Food Trade has launched its Sector Vision and Policy Recommendations, with the focus on “How to achieve sustainable agri-food trade.” The launch marks the occasion to present the thought process the organization has embarked on since December 2022 and to reflect the essential role of agri-food trade in sustainable food systems and how to improve the sustainability of agri-food trade operations. The document consists of a broader analysis of the current state of play of the agri-food trade sector and seven essential focus areas that agri-food traders wish to strengthen to create more sustainable agri-food trade operations. A first preview was given at a launch event in mid-November, at which the Head of Cabinet of DG Trade’s Commissioner Dombrovskis, Michael Hager, presented a first stocktake of the impact of the Green Deal on current trade policies.
