Agriculture Minister: We Want Practical Solutions for Farmers Without Bureaucracy

The Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Dr. Maria Panagiotou, stated that the government wants to implement practical solutions for farmers, free from bureaucratic procedures. The statement followed the temporary postponement of protests by agricultural organizations after a meeting with representatives of state services. The Minister said that the mediating proposal she submitted has been adopted by KOAP and will be submitted to the European Commission for evaluation. The proposal concerns solutions for farmers in private plots with multiple owners. Dr. Panagiotou stressed the importance of immediate implementation of solutions and avoidance of bureaucracy, so that farmers remain committed to cultivating the land.
