A decision defined as “outside the rules” by Italmopa President Emilio Ferrari given that Hungary is part of the European Community and as such should be subject to specific rules benefiting from EU aid in the agricultural field. But Orban’s country has decided to block the export of wheat, corn, soya and sunflower at least until the 22nd of May in order to counter the increase in prices due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Italmopa, there is a risk that the Italian soft wheat milling industry, whose total requirement of 5.5 million tons of wheat, is guaranteed by 65% \u00e2\u20ac\u2039\u00e2\u20ac\u2039by imports from EU countries or third countries – of which over 30 percent it is made up of Hungarian wheat – it will no longer be able to guarantee the production of soft wheat flours in the volumes required by our domestic market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the surge in prices, we are facing a new problem that also affects Italian farms which fear that they will no longer be able to feed 8.5 million pigs, 6.4 million cattle and over 6 million sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The measure adopted by Hungary constitutes a clear violation of the principle of free movement of goods in the European internal market and calls into question the fundamental values \u00e2\u20ac\u2039\u00e2\u20ac\u2039set out in the EU Treaties – underlines Emilio Ferrari, Italmopa President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
