Rome, Jan. 6 (LaPresse) – “I welcome the decision of the European Commission to amend, as requested by Italy, the proposal for the new multiannual financial framework to make an additional €45 billion available for the Common Agricultural Policy as early as 2028,” said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a statement.

“Together with the additional resources allocated last November to meet the requests of the European Parliament, this initiative not only achieves the goal of maintaining the current level of funding for the future, as requested by Italian and European farmers, but also provides extra resources. It is a positive and significant step forward in the negotiations leading to the new EU budget, showing that the common-sense approach in support of European agriculture, pursued with determination by the Italian government, is increasingly being heard in Brussels,” Meloni concluded.
