26/03/2019 (Agence Europe) – After discussions in several EU Council formations, European Agriculture Ministers will in turn have an exchange of views on 15 April in Luxembourg on the Communication detailing a long-term strategic vision for “a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate-neutral economy” (see EUROPE 12207/3). The transition to a climate-neutral economy “envisages transformations in the agricultural sector that will enable the EU to guarantee food security while contributing to the achievement of climate objectives”, recalls the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU, in a note in view of the upcoming debate at the ‘Agriculture’ Council. Agriculture is responsible for more than 10% of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, it constitutes, together with forestry, a carbon sink. (LC)
