The EU is stepping up to support farmers across five nations hit hard by unpredictable spring and summer weather. A €120 million package announced by the European Commission will help farmers in Bulgaria, Germany, Estonia, Italy, and Romania recover from floods, droughts, and storms. 🌦️
Germany tops the list with €46.5M, followed by Italy (€37.4M), Romania (€21.6M), Bulgaria (€10.9M), and Estonia (€3.3M). 💸 \"This is solidarity in action,\" said Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski, stressing the bloc’s commitment to helping farmers tackle climate challenges.
Funds are allocated via the EU’s agricultural reserve, a crisis-response tool activated when disasters strike. The move comes as Europe’s farmers face rising pressure from extreme weather, threatening food security and livelihoods. 🌍🔧
