CMO/Veggie burger: Quote from MEP Anna Strolenberg

Ahead of tomorrow's potentially last trilogue negotiations on the file on Common Organisation of the Markets (CMO) in agricultural products, Volt MEP Anna Strolenberg, Greens/EFA shadow rapporteur for the legislation, comments:
 
"The goal of this file was simple: to give farmers stronger contracts. Instead, EPP Rapporteur Céline Imart has dragged us into a food culture war over the word 'burger'. Let’s be clear: we will retract our support if the outcome includes a ban on veggie burger or sausages and does not strengthen the position of farmers. No farmer in Europe will see their income rise because a veggie burger was renamed a 'disc.' They will see their income rise with better contracts, and we have only taken a tiny step forward in this regard."
