Description[?]:
| The current situation in agriculture is not always satisfactory and requires some changes and improvements. Agriculture is one of the most important and best functioning components of the economy. However, further regulations need to be introduced. The local governments should (if necessery) introduce fishing quotas to protect the regional marine fauna and that there are still fish in our seas in the future. Genetically modified corps should not be sold and should only be used for scientific research or imported from abroad where are regulations to guarantee good health of the people. Too big farms should be broken up and distribute their land to other farms to guarantee that no monopoly will be created and that smaller farms can continue to function and produce. Aida Bat-Elle MP Leader of the CWP |
