- The PP candidate advocates stopping “greenwashing” so that ecological stamps that do not contribute to an ecological transition stop being improperly used.
- Defends the organic production of the province of Almería, which in recent years has multiplied organic crops by five
The number 2 candidate of the PP to the European Parliament, Carmen Crespo, has committed today to relaunch in Europe the recognition of Almeria and Andalusian agriculture as 'Carbon Farming'since, as explained, organic farming, which accounts for 30% in Andalusia and which in the case of the province of Almería has multiplied by five, is a CO2 sink and therefore deserves to be financially remunerated as requested. the Almeria candidate.
En este sentido, Carmen Crespo has also highlighted the need for the EU to work to stop the greenwashing because, as he has stressed, it is a “false ecological” in which ecological seals are improperly used that do not correspond to the unique characteristics of products from ecology or integrated control. In this sense, he has highlighted the real commitment of Almeria and Andalusian companies to organic crops, as is the case of Campojoyma in Níjar, and has pointed out that all of them will always have the support of the Popular Party because thanks to them and their good work in Europe they consume high-quality and environmentally sustainable Almerian products.
On the other hand, the candidate for the European Parliament has advocated adapt the European Regulation for Ecological Promotion to the current reality of southern agriculture such as that of Almería, Andalusia and Spain, something that currently does not occur and on which it has committed to working after 9-J.
To achieve this, Carmen Crespo has asked for the support of the sector and all the people of Almería in elections in which the province has a lot at stake and has recalled that Almería has been a pioneer in many aspects that depend on Europe and that the PP will defend, such as water, agriculture, new technologies or organic farming..
Almería lobby in Europe
On the other hand, he recalled that Faced with a socialist list headed by a candidate who has mercilessly punished our countryside, the PP list represents the province's agriculture and all the candidates are going to go out of their way to convey the messages from our field to the EU.
In this sense, he has advocated for the creation of a “lobby” for Almería and Andalusia in Brussels to promote, defend and represent our agriculture just as happens with other sectors.
“We have to ask for passage, making it clear that Our agriculture is socially, professionally and environmentally sustainable, and we also make absolutely pioneering use of water. as the Government of Juanma Moreno has demonstrated in Andalusia by purifying wastewater and cultivating excellent quality and sustainable products,” he assured.
Finally, he referred to the drought and demanded that there be a CWater Office to support the agricultural sector, generator of employment and wealth and a priority for Europe to consume quality products.
For its part, both the mayor of El Ejido, José Francisco Garrido, like the manager of Campojoyma, Francisco Montoya, have thanked Carmen Crespo for the important work she has carried out as Agriculture Councilor of the Board and have been convinced that “it will be the voice of Almería in Europe" and one "firm defender of our agriculture".
