Our Idea of Europe
Since it was founded more than 20 years ago, Slow Food has defended small-scale traditional food producers and raised awareness among consumers at the grassroots level. Its aim is to create a more responsible food system, based on the pleasure and sharing of good, clean and fair food.
Now the time has come for us to liaise with the European institutions to promote our common vision and find common solutions.
We have to work together to design better policies to address the paradigms of food production and related problems such as climate change, the risk of biodiversity loss and our impact on developing countries.
Future policies are bound to affect all of us. Which is why we invite all European citizens to join the debate and also ... join Slow Food.

Common Fisheries Policy towards a final agreement
Belgium | 10/05/2013
The Irish EU Presidency is determined to reach agreement at least
on the key items of controversy: stock recovery, discards, capacity
management and regionalisation. In order to do that, the Irish
fisheries minister, Simon Coveney, needs an updated negotiation
mandate from his 26 colleagues. This is being discussed this week
by the permanent representatives of EU member States in Brussels,
and will likely be concluded at the Fisheries Council next Monday
and Tuesday, May 13th & 14th. This Fisheries Council meeting could
prove to be one of the most important meetings of the reform
process.
