Christiane Lambert re-elected as COPA president
COPA, the European farmers' representative body, unanimously re-elected Christiane Lambert for a second term of two years, a first in more than 15 years.
Alongside her, six vice-presidents were re-elected: Massimiliano Giansanti, Pedro Gallardo, Mladen Jakopovic, Tim Cullinan, Marius Mihai Micu, and Palle Borgström.
Following the announcement of her re-election, Lambert said: “I am particularly aware of the challenges that will arise over the next two years. We will have to deal with multiple crises resulting from the war in Ukraine, climate change or the historical tensions on energy prices. At the same time, the regulatory work around the Green Deal will enter its critical phase. Vigilance will be key to avoid hindering the adaptation and modernisation of the EU farming sector."
She also said that EU agriculture has the capacity and the duty to pursue its sustainable growth model.
