Yesterday, Pascal Lamy and I met Marc Lemaitre, Director General of DG Research and Innovation at the European Commission, and Elisabetta Balzi, Head of DG RTD’s Oceans, Seas and Waters Unit. We underlined the achievements of the Starfish Mission and its key role in the future European Pact for the Ocean, which will illustrate European Union vision and ambition at the 3rd United Nations Conference on the Ocean (UNOC3). With this ambitious vision, combining protection, restoration and a thriving sustainable blue economy the EU can and must set an example at global level.

European Business Summit invited our Director General Geneviève Pons-Deladrière to join a dynamic discussion on “The Future of Agriculture: Balancing Sustainability, Succession, and Global Trade,” alongside Mihail Dumitru and Olivier de Matos, and moderated by Jack Parrock. A central question discussed during the panel session was how we can reconcile economic, social, and environmental sustainability in the farming sector. Her answer: collaboration among all actors of the agri-food chain is essential. The Strategic Dialogue has marked a pivotal step towards driving sustainable change, and it is important now to keep the political momentum. She highlighted one major achievement of the dialogue: the emphasis on demand-side policies, including those related to dietary patterns. However, she also pointed out a key shortcoming: the absence of international considerations in the recommendations, which must be addressed. When asked about the challenges posed by the potential EU enlargement to include Ukraine, she noted that such an expansion would require a reconsideration of the criteria for allocating CAP subsidies. This could pave the way at last for a highly desirable revision of the policy, shifting focus away from farm size and towards social and environmental criteria.
