The Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment Maria Panagiotou will have a meeting with representatives of the agricultural organizations at 8:00 on Friday morning, in order to discuss the requests of the farmers.
The requests of the farmers will be taken into account, the Minister had declared on Thursday, after receiving at the Presidential Palace a memorandum from the agricultural organizations with their requests to be given to the President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulidis.
He added that as a "Government, through its participation in the various EU institutions, we submit the positions of our farmers, the positions we have as the Republic of Cyprus, having a common goal of safeguarding the European farmer", adding that "we stand next to the farmers and march with them, but I say this, having a specific signpost that has determined the governance program for us and is something that the President of the Republic has requested".
