Marcel van der Vliet, CELCAA President, was one of the panelists at an event organised by FC2A on 27th November 2020, looking at the impact of the Farm to Fork Strategy on French and European agriculture. Stressing that the European Union is the leader in exports in agri-food worldwide – reaching the value of 152 billion € in 2019- Marcel van der Vliet questioned the impact of the Strategy on the competitiveness of European agriculture and its impact on trade, and noted that a global impact assessment on the proposed measures, is still missing.
