The FDSEA and the Young Farmers of Oise carried out truck control operations this Tuesday afternoon at the exits of the A1 and A16 motorways. The union's objective is to ensure the traceability of transported products. “The checks went very well“, assures Luc Smessaert, vice-president of the FNSEA and himself based in Oise.
“We still found in Senlis half baguettes, bread, without origin. No traceability on baguettes, the symbol of France!”protests the representative of the union, who draws a parallel with the Mercosur treaty, in the sights of the farmers' movement for several days. “With this Mercosur agreement, we are going to import junk food, things for which we will have no traceability, no guarantee on how it was produced. It is essential that tomorrow we can have these guarantees, it “That's why we don't believe in mirror clauses: today we need above all to have policies that support production here in France and that give us the means to produce.”
This Monday, numerous actions had already been carried out in Picardy, with gatherings in Amiens of the FDSEA80 and the Rural Coordination. The FDSEA60 for its part demonstrated in Beauvais, targeting in particular the French Biodiversity Office.
