The European Commission warned Member States about the impact that a dry and hot summer may have on European agriculture. The warning comes at a time of growing concern about adverse weather conditions affecting various regions of the Union.
The financial reserve for agricultural crisis situations for 2026 is already empty, which limits the European Union's options for immediate response to potential emergencies in the agricultural sector.
Given this situation, Brussels did not promise additional funds at this stage, indicating that it does not intend to make decisions about extraordinary support until the assessment of the situation is more advanced.
The alert follows particularly difficult climatic conditions that have been affecting various European agricultural areas, with emphasis on the lack of rain and high temperatures recorded in recent months.
