Giansanti: "On agricultural work, punish exploitation, not administrative errors"

Massimiliano Giansanti, president of Copa Cogeca, emphasizes the need for a clear distinction between labor exploitation and administrative errors in agriculture. He advocates for maintaining the current structure of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) with two pillars, ensuring resources are allocated solely to active farmers. Giansanti stresses the importance of a unified labor regulation across Europe to avoid penalties for minor infractions. He also highlights the significance of risk management in agriculture, particularly in the context of climate change. While expressing satisfaction with recent Italian government measures for agriculture, he remains concerned about market crises affecting sectors like IV gamma produce.
