From double standards to fairness: A turning point for EU food trade policy

This change aims to rebuild trust among farmers, institutions, and citizens, signaling a commitment to equitable practices. By aligning these standards, the EU hopes to foster a more transparent and fair trade environment, which could have broader implications for consumer confidence and global trade relations.
