Conference in Slovenia a great success!

In the end of November 2007, a conference was organised by CEJA and ZSPM, the Slovenian Rural Youth Organisation, in Dobrna, Slovenia to discuss the CAP Health Check and the agricultural budget. Some 120 young farmers from across Europe listened to speakers from the Slovenian Ministry of Agriculture, the Chamber of Agriculture, the Directorates General Agriculture and Budget from the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development.

Mrs Fischer Boel said that she always enjoyed being with young farmers and that she was confident that CEJA would contribute to the discussion on the Health Check in its normal, professional, forward-looking way because: “when we talk about future, that’s CEJA!”

Responding to the latest communication by the European Commission, the CEJA Presidium adopted an updated declaration on the Health Check. Its main message: “We believe in a European agriculture that is vital, innovative and modern. Consequently, we want a Common Agriculture Policy that sets up a framework corresponding to a European model of agriculture which encourages the development of agri-enterprises.”
