Agriculture Minister to discuss water scarcity in Brussels
08:13 - 27 January 2025
Maria Panayiotou, Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development, and Environment, is in Brussels to participate in the European Union's Agriculture and Fisheries Council meeting, where she will present the common position of MED9 countries on water scarcity.
In a press release, the Ministry said that the unified MED9 stance, previously submitted in writing to the European Commission, aims to highlight the challenges faced by Mediterranean nations due to climate change.
The group is seeking concrete European-level measures to address these issues.
During the Council meeting on 27 January, the Polish Presidency is expected to outline its work program and priorities for the agriculture and fisheries sectors, the press release added.
Agriculture Ministers will also exchange views on regulations aimed at strengthening the position of farmers within the food supply chain, with a focus on combating unfair trading practices. Important trade matters affecting the European agricultural sector will also be on the agenda.
Minister Panayiotou is set to return to Cyprus on 28 January.
