Overview
- Agriculture minister Òscar Ordeig announced the meeting for next week after talks with farm and livestock groups following days of protests.
- The forum will set a unified Catalan position with potential demands such as mirror clauses, stricter border controls, safeguard measures, and a compensation fund.
- Ordeig asked organizers to lift roadblocks to enable coordinated work, as actions continued on the AP‑7, C‑16 and A‑27 and were temporarily lifted on the N‑II.
- The government will brief Catalan MEPs and arrange a session with Illa this week, with results to be relayed to Spain’s Agriculture Ministry.
- Topics on the table include possible PAC adjustments, recent DNC indemnity payments with additional sums due by January 15, and sector representation ahead of the February 27 agrarian elections and the planned Agrarian Council.
