The Fédération Nationale des Syndicats d’Exploitants Agricole (FNSEA) represents French farmers who will be the first users of new varieties adapted to the current climate change and to the main challenges for more environmentally, economically and socially sustainable agriculture.

Data Actfiled 13 May 2022PDFsource

FNSEA considers that, as it stands, the draft Data Act makes it possible for farms to make real progress, particularly in terms of controlling the use of agricultural data, and of their portabilities and interoperability. Protection against unfair contract terms involving non-personal data will foster the exchange of data sought by this draft Regulation.

Data Actfiled 25 Jun 2021PDFsource

(see PJ for full opinion) The agricultural and agri-food sector in Europe is characterised by a very large number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

European data governance (Data Governance Act)filed 30 Jul 2020source

Agriculture is entering a new era: Agriculture 4.0, or the digital economy, is becoming increasingly important in the production process. The amount of data produced on agricultural holdings is growing exponentially and is of interest to many actors. This prompted FNSEA to question ownership, control over the use and sharing of data on holdings, and the creation of values that emerge from this new economy.

Roadmap towards Nature Creditsfiled 30 Sept 2025source

FNSEA is fully in line with the visibility that the European Commission wishes to give to agricultural practices conducive to biodiversity through the use of natural credits. These credits, in addition to giving pride to the farming profession, constitute income supplements that will be welcomed on many farms.

Strengthening of the position of farmers in the food supply chainfiled 10 Mar 2025PDFsource

FNSEA welcomes this Commission initiative, which aims to strengthen the place of farmers in the food supply chain. In the face of successive crises (COVID-19, soaring production costs, geopolitical tensions), farms are under pressure, and the distribution of added value remains a major challenge.

FNSEA thanked the European Commission for the opportunity to give its opinion on this draft amendment to the Regulation on the labelling of plant protection products.

Products derived from animal by-products as component materials in EU fertilising productsfiled 11 May 2026source

FNSEA expressed cautious support for the proposal to extend CMC 10 to include new products derived from animal by-products. We welcome the approach to assess the potential environmental impacts of the proposed materials and the strict conditions of use imposed on each material. We are, however, vigilant about the integration of materials that would present a higher health risk than processed manure.
