Speaking on the television station “Action24”, Mr. Tsiaras noted that these are the following:
First, redefinition of EU policy in the primary sector. This option is imperative as, as he pointed out, the EU is the largest exporter agricultural products to the US.
Secondly, for our country to attempt to exception from the measure of duties, unique products, which do not affect US agricultural production, such as edible olives, slice and more.
Third, to make decisions by the EU. In order to support agricultural products produced by its Member States, as it is inconceivable to export European products and consumers to the countries of the Union to be forced to buy the same products from third countries at prices cheaper. In this particular case, the responsible minister must have noted the financial support of the EU products. to be more accessible to European consumers.
As the Minister of Rural Development and Food underlined any measures taken by each European country, it is subject to the control and approval of the European Commission, much more due to the implementation of the common agricultural policy.
