Euroseeds welcomes the “Competitiveness Compass for the EU” initiative as an important and functional step to address the challenges identified in the Draghi and Letta reports in relation to European competitiveness and the functioning of the internal market. A strong, competitive, and innovative agri-food sector is essential to support Europe’s economic and sustainability goals.

Garlich von Essen, Secretary General and CEO of Euroseeds, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating:
“To maintain Europe’s leadership in sustainable and innovative agriculture, we must focus on policies that enhance competitiveness through science-driven solutions. The ‘Competitiveness Compass for the EU’ sets a foundation for meaningful progress, and Euroseeds stands ready to work closely with the European Commission to ensure that Europe’s agri-food sector remains a driver of growth, sustainability, and resilience.”

Euroseeds remains committed to actively engage with policymakers and support and implement this important initiative to ensure that the European agri-food sector remains at the forefront of global innovation and sustainability.
