The large-scale movement in the agricultural world of last winter may be starting again. Unions are calling to mobilize this month of November. Several points crystallize their anger.
Among the examples cited, the “burn out administratif” which they face. They are indeed demanding a simplification of regulations.
“Sometimes we are faced with two regulations that contradict each other” deplores Julie Macron of the FDSEA of Pas-de-Calais.
The union deplores a “accumulation of standards, documents to complete, rules to remember, prohibitions”.
In the crosshairs of the FNSEA (National Federation of Agricultural Operators' Unions): the new nitrate directive, applied since September 1. This establishes a schedule for spreading effluent, which is considered too complex and “inapplicable”.
The union's other big fear is to see the agreement with Mercosur ratified.
It is a free trade agreement between the European Union and South American countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Stalled since 2019, it has still not been ratified, but things have been moving in recent months, particularly under the leadership of Germany and Spain.
Julie Macron fears: “unfair competition with countries that do not have the same environmental and hygiene rules for certain imports.”
The importation of sugar from crops using phytosanitary products banned in France is particularly targeted.
FDSEA 62 plans to deposit all the dismantled panels in front of the prefecture in Arras, this Friday, November 8, 2024 at 10:30 p.m.
