Farmers like to complain and always get new privileges with every protest

I for once are happy they are getting a reality check for once

I hope you won't get a reality check if one day there is a famine in Europe caused by outsourcing the entire farming to other continents. The very first thing any enemy force would do is a naval blockade, the rest is patience and lots of deaths.

Farming already is heavily subsidized in every EU country. The whole sector only exists as is precisely because of the fears you point out. And that is perfectly fine, because statistically speaking it already is a rounding error both in share of employment and share of GDP (1.2% of EU GDP), only kept alive for the exact purpose you talk about.

So even if these lobby talking points would be true, and everything had to be 100% subsidized, that wouldn't be a problem.

Buddy, we are talking about a quota that is less than 2% of the beef produced in EU.

If having 1% of beef imported causes a famine, then the farming in Europe is actually pretty awful.
