The demands of farmers from Jasionka are being implemented, you just need patience – according to Tuesday’s announcement from the Ministry of Agriculture.
As we informed, on Tuesday, the heads of the ministry held talks with protesting farmers at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Participants of the March meeting in Jasionka and the arrangements concluded then with Minister Czesław Siekierski came to check the status of their implementation. The talks did not bring the expected results, so the farmers decided to occupy the resort until specifics were agreed.
– The demands of farmers from Jasionka are being implemented, we just need patience – according to Tuesday’s announcement from the Ministry of Agriculture on this matter.
The resort lists:
- Matters related to the Green Deal – after farmers’ protests and interventions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, as well as arrangements between Prime Minister Tusk and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission withdrew from many assumptions of the Green Deal. They should be accepted as satisfactory by the protesting farmers.
- The rules for launching aid for cereal producers were adopted (cereal subsidies of PLN 200/t and PLN 300/t). The approval process is ongoing.
- The embargo on imports of cereals, corn, rapeseed, sunflower, flour, bran, meal and cake from Ukraine is still maintained.
- Work is underway to maintain the agricultural tax level at the 2023 level.
- Due to the fact that the Ukrainian side announced that it would limit the transit of its agricultural products through Poland to a minimum from April to June this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development did not apply to suspend the transit of Ukrainian agricultural products through Poland.
– Taking into account the above, it should be stated that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is implementing the demands and arrangements made with the representatives of the protesting farmers. As Minister Czesław Siekierski stated, a number of activities require many inter-ministerial arrangements and specific procedures, which extends the implementation of the arrangements – emphasized in the announcement.
