The emergency agricultural bill, defended by Minister Annie Genevard, is under debate this week in the National Assembly. More than 1,700 amendments have been tabled and lively exchanges are expected.
The bill responds to the anger expressed by farmers last winter. It aims to deliver concrete solutions to the sector’s daily difficulties.
One deputy warned that the debates will be very lively and disagreements numerous. More than 1,700 amendments have been tabled, indicating the tensions ahead.
The discussion comes as the implementing decrees for other agricultural laws have not all been published yet.
