EU Commission Calls Agriculture Ministers to Informal Meeting on Food Security

The European Commission is calling on EU Agriculture Ministers to an informal meeting in Brussels on January 7, 2026, to discuss food security. The meeting is co-organized by the Commission and the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU. An assessment of the state of agriculture and food in the EU will be made, with emphasis on CAP funding and opportunities for farmers. In addition, discussions will cover the EU's long-term budget system, reciprocity in production standards and imports, as well as regulatory burdens and increased input costs. The ratification of the EU-Mercosur agreement is not expected to be discussed.
