Instead, we propose increasing investments in research and innovation in order to discover new technologies that can increase agricultural productivity without having to give up pesticides. 3/4

Those most affected by the pesticide reduction will be small and medium-sized farms that do not have the necessary means to continue production in the context of a sudden reduction in income. 2/4

We propose to postpone the implementation of the targets proposed by the @EU_Commission to reduce pesticides in agricultural production. It will lead to an immediate drop in production and income that we cannot afford in the context of the global agricultural crisis. 1/4

A stronger EU budget for #agriculture in the future Common Agricultural Policy of the EU – this is what we, the @EPP, call for in the resolution that we just adopted at the #EPP Parliamentary Assembly in #Munich. 2/2

EU farmers have been strongly affected by inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the consequences of the war in Ukraine. Their mission to guarantee food security on the continent has become increasingly difficult. Farmers deserve proper support and respect. 1/2

We, the @EPP, will continue to support Moldova’s European integration, as we are the only European political family that actively and uninterruptedly supported #Moldova at an EU level over the past decade. 2/2

Thanks to our @EPP associated member party, PAS, and President @sandumaiamd, #Moldova is now governed by a pro-European political majority that guarantees stability and the country's pro-European path. 1/2

Moldova is important for the security of the EU. The fact that Moldova is governed in such a European way improves the stability of both Ukraine and the region. However, they need more EU help to tackle the security challenges they are facing and continue the EU integration.  2/2

Moldova’s integration into the European Union is a top priority for the @EPP. Today - at the #EPPMunich Political Assembly - I chaired a debate with former Prime Minister @natgavrilita on how we can enhance EU cooperation with the Republic of #Moldova. 1/2

Lots of economic sectors are undergoing big transformations. For example, cars will be produced differently than they were in the past. Because of this reason, a priority for us should also be the process of #reskilling and #upskilling people. 3/3

Educated citizens help the economy to grow. In the context of the #green and #digital transitions, education can be used to innovate regions. There is an undeniable fact: universities attract investors to cities and regions. 2/3

#Education is key - I said today at the @EPP innovation for strong regions panel that I chaired in Munich. Education is not just a social policy, education is about creating the #skills for the people to be able to thrive. An educated citizen is a strong citizen. 1/3

Making use of EU funds is the tool to unleash the potential of our regions. The @EPP has ensured that 20% of #NextGenerationEU funds will be allocated to the #digital transition, on top of the 30% of EU funds going to the #green transition. 4/4

To stimulate private sector investment in these transitions, we need to focus on #research, #innovation, and on unleashing the potential of all EU #regions. We need to connect these regions - through both traditional and digital infrastructure – to ensure they all develop. 3/4

We face a fundamental economic transformation, undergoing both #green & #digital transitions. To face these transformations, we need to create the right frameworks, focused on institutions, education, healthcare, and legal structures that stimulate private sector investment. 2/4

@EPP supports investing in the digital transition and the educational system - this is our focus at the @EPP panel I am charing on innovation for strong regions in Munich. 1/4

3. Given the war in Ukraine, volatility in agriculture was a key issue negatively affecting #farmers in the EU. What are your expectations for the next year in terms of price evolution, eventual shortages, and what can we do to bring more predictability to European farmers? 4/4

1. What can we do to attract young people to rural areas, to #farming, and how can we diversify agriculture?
2. How do we avoid divisions between urban and rural areas in terms of investments, infrastructure, and opportunities for young people? 3/4

This week we are working on the EPP resolution in support of European #farmers at the EPP Political Assembly in Munich. Here, I have addressed three key questions our farmers are currently facing: 2/4

We, the @EPP, are united in defending #farmers and their interests in the EU. We stand by investing in research and innovation, supporting young farmers, and emphasising the importance of predictability of the flow and production of agricultural goods. 1/4
