Europeans Farmers Burn Tier's|Protest at EU Minister meeting| BBC News
Brussels before setting them on fire on Monday, as they protested against competition from cheap food imports, excessive environmental rules and subsidies favouring large firms. Around 100 tractors were parked around the European Union (EU) institutions' headquarters ahead of planned speeches, a short distance from where agricultural ministers were meeting.
"We're here again in Brussels today as farmers because the European Union is not listening to our demands. Our demands are for fair revenue. We don't make a living out of our work. We produce the food and we don't make a living. Why is that?” French farmer Morgan Ody asked.
At the conclusion of the bloc's agriculture ministers gathering, Belgium's Deputy Prime Minister David Clarinval said that the EU’s executive commission needs to present more ambitious proposals to reduce farmers' concerns.
Meanwhile in Spain, farmers from across the country drove their tractors to the European Parliament Office in Madrid, passing by the Ministry of Agriculture. Demonstrations have been taking place for weeks in European countries including Belgium, France, Germany.
