“No food security without our farmers” – ŠEFČOVIČ

One of the most senior EU Commissioners says he wants to "strengthen" talks with farmers and foresters who are “essential partners” in the green transition. Maros Sefcovic made the comments this morning during his appearance before MEPs in the European Parliament. He was participating in a confirmation hearing to take over responsibility for the EU’s Green Deal.

Mr Sefcovic  was nominated for the Green Deal job after the previous Environment Commissioner Frans Timmermans, left to run in Dutch elections in November. The Slovak Commissioner is already an executive vice-president of the European Commission.
