"Unfortunately, the most crucial breakthrough for farmers is not included in the report on food products arriving in the EU from third countries. Such a breakthrough, fair competition and fair trade would have required that only food produced by manufacturers complying with strict standards similar to those met by European farmers – such as Hungarian farmers, for instance – are allowed into the European Union. We all know about the extremely rigorous cross-compliance rules. We should specify it as a requirement that food from third countries can only be imported into the EU if identical animal welfare, food safety, environmental protection, social and other criteria are met. However, there is a positive breakthrough, namely, that according to one of the proposed amendments, the labelling of products derived from foraging animals which are fed genetically modified organisms should mention this fact. We welcome this. We also support the fact that the report gives priority to food and consumer safety as a fundamental principle instead of the unconditional enforcement of free trade that previously seemed to be above almost all other considerations. Please take into account the rather difficult situation currently facing farmers and ensure fair competition for European farmers."@en1
