Significance The European Commission has agreed to dilute some green deal policies affecting agriculture, but the concessions do not appear to have convinced farmers, who pledge to continue protesting ahead of June’s elections to the European Parliament (EP). Impacts Ursula von der Leyen’s re-election as Commission President will depend on her response to the farmers’ protests. EU accession talks with Ukraine will slow as Ukraine's huge agricultural sector is a poor fit for an unreformed common agricultural policy. Competing farmer and environmental interests will make EU trade policy more protectionist.
