The @EU_ScienceHub just published news that most Southern & Western 🇪🇺 countries are affected by droughts impacting agriculture.
Already now.
It’s with our Nature Restoration Law that we can ensure food security & our farmers’ future.

We just had vivid exchanges.
For our fishers & for our blue planet they depend on, we must now step up efforts. I call on Member States to help us achieve the best result possible:
A fisheries sector fit for the future, modern, digital & attractive.
