For my first post on bluesky, happy to share an image of the start of the work at SCA yesterday with one colegislator on amending the CMO and reinforcing cross border enforcement of UTPs #fairfoodchain

... and there are more consultations to come soon, such as on:
➡️a food & feed safety legislation "simplification" omnibus —🚨Deregulation alert!
➡️Unfair Trading Practices (#UTP) — a great opportunity to call for a #FairFoodChain!

Are we set for more concentration in the dairy market? The merger between Denmark's Arla and Germany's DMK would create a European dairy giant, raising concerns about the impact on smaller producers and the need to ensure fair prices for farmers.

“The gap between producer and consumer prices is widening”. “Average profit margins of retailers and manufacturers have been rising for over ten years.”
Key findings (warnings?) from a report published yesterday by the 🇩🇪 Monopoly Commission.

Interesting to see that according to @ipsosgroup.bsky.social’s survey (commissioned by pesticides lobby Croplife), farmers’ key concerns are *prices*, followed by admin burdens - but NOT environmental regulations. Even more than “simplification”, what they want is a #FairFoodChain.

Ahead of Monday's exchange of views between AGRI lawmakers and @christophehansen.bsky.social on the Commission's proposed targeted amendments to the #CMO Regulation, here's @beuc.bsky.social's take on the proposal and what's needed for a #FairFoodChain 👀👇

As the Green Week (#GrüneWoche) is kicking off, @beuc.bsky.social member vzbv is calling on the German government to set up an observatory on food prices and costs. A transparent and #FairFoodChain is in the interest of consumers and farmers alike.

📣 Consumer group @beuc.bsky.social has set out its priorities for the new @ec.europa.eu Agriculture & Food Commissioner for the new term 👇
1️⃣ Make healthy sustainable diets easy and afforable
2️⃣ #FairFoodChain
3️⃣ Present the #AnimalWelfare proposals
www.beuc.eu/sites/defaul...

In her speech on the new College, @ec.europa.eu President rightly said Europeans should “be able to afford to buy food” and at the same time that “farmers [should] have a fair and sufficient income.”
For this we need a #FairFoodChain that works for farmers and consumers.

Interesting 🤓 (and to be followed…).
Companies in the agricultural inputs sector in 🇫🇷 received surprise visits yesterday on suspicion of engaging in anticompetitive conduct, the competition authorities said today.

Looks like the UK and the EU are having very similar debates on price formation and distribution across the food value chain …
