While this is a very noble thing to say by one Danish farmer, it would be naive to think that all EU farmers would share this attitude, especially as we faced similar conflicts of interests in 2000’s when many new Central and Eastern European joined EU and CAP, competing with Western European farmers.
Of course, this is going to create frictions, especially in the same CEE countries that don’t yet feel that confident as their businesses had been competing on the common market for the last ~20 years, half of which involved huge investments to comply with EU rules.
And of course, it’s going to be in long term good for everyone in the EU, but it requires a very careful and balanced policy management in order to deescalate such conflicts among all participants.
