In one of the first days of February, the European Commission announced the registration of a European citizens' initiative to “defend agriculture and the rural economy in Europe.” Its promoter is the Spanish collective SOS Rural (although it also has other support).
I think it is important to specify that the aim is to protect agriculture and the rural economy in Europe through regulations based on several elements, e.gPriority of using agricultural land to produce food, ensuring food sovereignty and solving problems of the food chain and high prices.
In the documents participating in the initiative, The organizers are also calling for the creation of a European Hydrological Plan to ensure water supply and distribution across the EU and the establishment of a European Agency for Agriculture and Rural Economy. Ensuring the protection of agriculture and the rural economy in EU decision-making processes. At present, the proposals have not been analyzed in depth.
Justified answer
After registration, Organizers have a period of six months to begin the process of collecting signatures. If within a year they receive one million supports from at least seven member states, the European Commission will have to provide a justified answer whether it accepts or rejects the initiative.
In the case of protests, almost all of which are right, it seems to me that these must be an important factor for the Commission to start taking action, if not all of them in the short term but most importantly, We cannot forget that without agriculture and livestock raising there is no food.
