Hansen Tells Luxembourg Europe Still Imports A Third Of Its Fertilizer
At the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce's forum, Hansen pitched a Common Agricultural Policy rewrite promising farmers 1.6 billion euros a year.
- European Commission Press Corner published Commissioner Christophe Hansen's speech Réformer l'Europe from September 16, 2026, pledging 1.6 billion euros to farmers.
- "Nous devons mettre ces forces au service d'une Europe plus forte, qui maîtrise ses dépendances, sa compétitivité, sa sécurité alimentaire, sa durabilité."
- Commission also proposed doubling the EU's farm crisis safety net to 6.3 billion euros.
Why it matters: The 1.6 billion euros are a projection inside a proposal that still needs Council and Parliament approval.
