Two events are organized: this Tuesday, November 26 in Montbard and this Thursday, November 28 in Dijon.
Press release from the FDSEA of the Côte-d’Or and the Young Farmers of the Côte-d’Or of November 26, 2024:
Act 2 of the agricultural mobilizations: Simplification is now,
Stop excess control, All PAC deposits paid!
Act 2 of the end-of-year agricultural mobilizations begins this week: after the fiery launch of anger against the trade agreements that put us in competition with products that do not respect our standards, we are also waiting for the promises at the start of 2024 are kept, particularly on simplification.
Indeed, to ensure our competitiveness, and therefore our income as well as French food sovereignty, we must be able to work peacefully. To do this, we need a simple, applicable, understandable regulatory framework, adapted to our activities.
The complexity of current regulations limits our ability to undertake and implement actions that could really improve the sustainability of our systems, and keeps us busy with excessive administration, with the risk of seeing weapons controllers arriving at the scene. belt at the slightest suspicion of an error.
If this accumulation of standards and regulations causes an administrative overload for farmers, its complexity does not facilitate processing by decentralized State services either, which leads to regular delays in the payment of aid, granting of authorizations…
This all has to stop!
In Côte d’Or, we will currently target 2 administrations:
The OFB in Montbard on Tuesdays at 8pm
For many years, recurring problems have been reported in the Montbard sector: arrival of clearly visible armed agents on family farms outside of dangerous situations, surveillance of operators to impose sanctions when the error is made rather than intervening in prevention, yet much more useful for the environment…
We expect the OFB to fulfill its role of prevention and support and to consider sanctions as a last resort, with recognition of the right to make a mistake in good faith for small, unintentional infractions until the regulations become more readable.
Meet directly in front of the OFB in Montbard, 1 rue Champfleury
Arrival planned by tractor around 8 p.m.
Given the restricted configuration of the premises, we advise motorists to avoid the area as much as possible from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
ASP in Dijon Thursday at 2 p.m.
The ASP is responsible for paying CAP aid in particular, but also for a large part of the related controls. We are awaiting the implementation of announcements from the Minister of Agriculture Annie Genevard on single administrative control, a charter of controls which takes into account agricultural activity, on-time payments.
This campaign was again marked by controls imposed in full harvest during the few days without rain, and reports of these same controls transmitted after several months, which caused blockages of CAP payments.
The satellite control tool, which is still not perfect, has also generated numerous useless and time-consuming exchanges, with the farmer being considered to be wrong by default in relation to the machine.
Meet at 2 p.m. directly in front of the ASP (boulevard Winston Churchill)
A convoy of tractors will arrive directly on site from the east of Dijon, it should leave around 5 p.m. We are organizing ourselves to limit disruption to the population.
“We don’t want Mercosur, not at all,” insists the president of the FDSEA of Côte-d’Or
