Christophe Hansen

Proud to announce here in 🇮🇹, EU leader with 890+ Geographical Indications, a GI Action Plan for 2027!

Tuscany shows why this work matters & what GIs achieve: strong rural economies 🚜, tourism 🌍, authentic taste🍷

This visit starts our shared reflection for our future actions 🎯

Big steps for our agrifood sector this week:

🍷Wine Package agreement backing producers’ needs
🌱Economic Security Package keeping fertilisers in focus
🔬Unlocking new tech for ➕ resilient crops
↘️ burdens for EU farmers & foresters while pursuing our fight against deforestation

Great news for 🇪🇺 wine! 🍷

Co-legislators just sealed the Wine Package ➡️ backing a sector that produces 60% of the world’s wine.

A direct response to sectoral needs:
➕ flexibility
🌱 stronger climate adaptation tools
📈 5-year promotion campaigns to boost our 🌎 presence

To boost domestic production & recycling, @EU_Commission is cutting red tape 👉

🔹fast-tracking permits for critical raw material projects
🔹revising the Water Framework Directive to remove bottlenecks
🔹↙️ fertiliser dependencies through EU-made solutions & recycling

No economic security without food security.

The #EconomicSecurityPackage recognises how essential fertilisers are.

In 2026 🔜focus on keeping them affordable

↙️our critical dependencies by boosting domestic production & enabling other sustainable options, ex. recycled nutrients

Avec la Ministre 🇫🇷 Annie Genevard 🤝

Au menu: future PAC, protection de nos secteurs sensibles dans l’accord Mercosur, et soutien au secteur viticole

Objectif: défendre nos secteurs sensibles et renforcer la réciprocité avec le lancement d’une étude d’impact dédiée 🇪🇺

Jeunes chefs, grands talents !🍽️

Au concours @EuroToques à Paris j’ai pu goûter les créations de 6 jeunes chefs, sublimant nos produits AOP/IGP et faisant rayonner le goût du terroir 🧀

Tradition, passion et créativité dans chaque assiette font vivre la gastronomie 🇫🇷 & européenne

Delivering on my engagement promise

Final stop of my 🇪🇺 tour: Slovakia. Met Minister Richard Takáč on the future CAP & EU budget, spoke with agri representatives & young farmers, 🇸🇰 being one of the EU’s best students!

Also enjoyed Slovak 🍎 & celebrated the new PGI Muranské buchty

After a challenging year for Hungarian farmers impacted by frost and drought, I met Minister Nagy in Budapest to discuss the next CAP, and honour new 🇭🇺 GIs🍷

Field visit of an excellent 🧀 farm & roundtables with young farmers ahead!

The new European Bioeconomy Strategy shows the way: decarbonise, innovate, and reward our primary producers 🇪🇺🌱

From biofertilisers to biogas we’re creating new income streams for farmers & forest holders and a stronger rural economy.

Turning green ambition into opportunity

Our farmers & agri-food sector deserve fair global competition.

👉 The most hazardous pesticides banned in the EU for health & environmental reasons should not be allowed back in through imported products.

The work starts now 🕒

The CAP post-2027 in the next EU budget The common agricultural policy (CAP) after 2027 has a central place within the EU’s next budget to deliver on the strategic orientations provided by the Vision for Agriculture and Food.

📚 More on how the CAP post-2027 will ensure a fairer and better targeted income support for farmers 👉 link.europa.eu/Ch3YB6

Better targeting protects the farms Europe cannot afford to lose

Today's #AGRIFISH discussions make one thing clear: the post-2027 CAP must continue to focus support where it matters most:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family farms
⛰️farms in areas of natural constraints
🌱young farmers
👩‍🌾female farmers

Deal ! 🇪🇺 A major step to protect farmers & suppliers from unfair trading practices

Now we must match ambition with action: only strong, consistent enforcement across borders will make this fairness in the food supply chain real for those who feed Europe

@eu2025dk.bsky.social
@europarl.europa.eu

Delivering real #CAP simplification:

🌾 for on-farm requirements
🌱 recognising diverse practices, including organic
🚜 streamlined support for small & medium farms
💶 better access to financial tools
🇪🇺 more flexibility for Member States in managing their CAP Strategic Plans

🎯Simplification promised, simplification delivered!

Co-legislators have sealed the deal, cutting red tape & bureaucracy for farmers & national administrations

A big win for EU farmers & agri-food producers, helping them focus on feeding Europe with simpler policies 👩‍🌾

We’ve listened to discussions & concerns to clear the path forward.

EU farmers safeguard our food security. From the outset, our objective has been a strong CAP supporting them & rural areas.

We now have a solid base to continue the work to shape the future CAP & MFF together

Simpler rules, stronger standards! 🌱

Today, I’m listening to farmers, consumers and retailers to streamline EU organic rules, boosting efficiency without compromising quality.

Let’s ensure EU organic farming remains the gold standard 🇪🇺

Thank you Prime Minister Mitsotakis & Vice-President of the Government Hatzidakis for the warm welcome 🇬🇷

Strong regions, strong Europe!

Today with representatives in charge of agriculture in Régions de France 🇫🇷
