That's not for me to know what the others will be talking about. I for sure will be talking about the need also in the north Atlantic cooperation for a green transition of the Agriculture. I think that is very important. I believe that the trade question will in discussion as well of course.
Well I'm not addressing that question.

- Question on the CAP and the Green transition.
I would say that the most important question for a lot of people and governments is that we know get the necessary green transition and live up to our climate ambitions, and the EU ambitions, and that we'll need agriculture to play a major part, a much bigger part in that than you've seen already. I have the point of view that whatever the budget will be, as big a part as possible will have to be used to support green transition and the fight against climate change.

- Question on #Agriculture target within the 2050 goals.
That's for sure, we can see that in every countries, agriculture is lacking behind when it comes to living up to the target and you'll have to have much stronger goals and actions and the new common agricultural policy, we'll have to give us the tools to do it, in each country.
- Question on targets for fertilisers and pesticides.
Well we, in Denmark, on the use of antibiotics, have one of the lowest levels in Europe. On e of the ways to reset is to introduce a certain tool called the yellow card where the agricultural companies get punished if they go over a certain limit of use of antibiotics. And you have to be tough on that when it comes to both antibiotics and fertilisers and pesticides.
- Question on the possible implementation of the system at a EU level.
I hope so, that's what I'll be working for.
