continues to grow. The EC exports
$32 billion in farm products, less
than five percent of the Communi

exporting year, the Community
spent $ll billion in direct subsi
dies to make those sales possible.

prices and $44 billion in higher
taxes due to the common agricul
tural policies,” according to Eckel.
“It’s total economic nonsense
being applied by European leaders
to solve a political problem.”
Europeans argue current levels
of support are needed to keep the
10.2 million farmers on the land,
but farmers are leaving the land in
great numbers.
Prior to the 1980 s, the EC was a
net grain importer. Then, as a
result of generous internal and
external subsidies, EC grain
exports grew to 32 million metric
tons.
We remain dedicated to
the farm community!
