As stated in #ClimateTargetsPlan, current target of ≥14% RES in #transport by 2030 is not enough. The EU should set higher targets as part of the #EffortSharingRegulation and strengthen the GHG savings obligations put on fuel suppliers in the #FQD. #EUBiofuelsChain
ASweetGreen Deal: Reducing the use of #CropProtectionProducts is a goal that the #SugarBeet sector set for themselves long ago! 🌱 It led to new techniques in the agricultural toolbox such as #PrecisionFarming, #NBTs and #DigitalFarming

#PFPForum2020: @PFPEurope industries are on the carbon leakage list, but not eligible for indirect cost compensation, neither for subsidy schemes on renewable energy at MS level. How can the EU make sure that they are sufficiently protected on the way towards decarbonisation?
#PFPForum2020: @raulialbert from @Elinkeinoelama addresses climate change adaptation through technological improvements in plant resistance: supporting policy encouraging the uptake of new technologies (such as NBTs) and risk management tools is key!

On #tradepolicyday, the EU sugar sector remains in positive spirits and counts on the future of EU trade policy to facilitate the recovery from the continued market crisis📍 An international level playing field is indispensable🌍 @Europarl_EN @VDombrovskis @jwojc @WeyandSabine
