The European Commission has agreed to exempt farmers from the mandatory fallowing of 4 percent of their land. This was announced on social network X by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk after talks with European Commission President Usrula von der Leyen, UNN reports

The latest news! Specifics for farmers: starting from this year, steam will not be mandatory. This is the result of my negotiations with the head of the Commission. Other details will be announced later today

- wrote Tusk in the social network X.

According to the European Commission's press service , the new proposals would exempt small farms of less than 10 hectares from control and fines related to compliance requirements. 

Another proposal would change the obligation of farmers not to grow crops on part of their land, the so-called GAEC 8. 

The European requirement of GAEC 8 to keep land fallow is one of the main grievances of farmers against the European Green Deal, which has led to protests in a number of European countries. 

According to The Independent, the European Commissioner for Agriculture  has indicated that a plan by European policymakers to replace the requirement for farmers to leave land fallow with a voluntary scheme has been delayed due to disagreements over details. Namely, the publication was delayed due to a dispute over the timing of some changes, but the announcement should be made within hours, not days.
