In the UK, farmers called on the future prime minister to provide a “reasonable” transition agreement with the EU to achieve a “soft landing” when leaving the Union.

Whoever wins the competition for the prime minister, the UK Farmers-Tenants Association (TFA) has stated that it’s “imperative” that they work to avoid Brexit’s “off-road” without a deal.

The Association also insists that the government continue the necessary work to draft a new agricultural and environmental policy necessary for life after the European Union.

TFA Executive Director George Dunn said that it is necessary to begin discussion of the amendments to the bill, adding: “If this is the legislation around which our new policy on agriculture and the farming environment should be formulated, we need to continue discussing the amendments and reaching agreement on it adoption. "

Meanwhile, the presidents of the National Union of Farmers of Great Britain, the National Union of Farmers of Wales, Scotland and the Union of Farmers of Ulster called on the newly elected members of the European Parliament of Great Britain to listen to the views of their agricultural communities.

In a joint statement, they said: “In July, the newly elected members of the European Parliament will take their seats in the European Parliament, and it is very important that they recognize the significant role they will play in shaping policies affecting the agricultural business.”
