Speaking at the exhibition Commissioner Cioloş stated that “Young farmers are passionate about their job and the agriculture sector and this is well demonstrated by this photo exhibition. As Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, one of my priorities has been young farmers This priority is not just theoretical, but also concrete, as measures for young farmers in second pillar but also in first pillar of the CAP will be included in the legislative package.‟‟
CEJA President Joris Baecke stated that “This exhibition showcases the dynamism and motivation of European young farmers in the sector. We are proud and passionate about our profession and this is reflected in the photos. We also believe that the exhibition will draw the attention of the general public and decision-makers on the need to strongly support young entrepreneurs entering the sector, especially in the first years after installation”.
The photo exhibition is taking place in the Berlaymont Building from the 26th September to the 13th October, and will then continue its tour of the European Union throughout 2012.
