🇺🇦Agriculture is ~60% of Ukraine’s exports – and one of the most sensitive files in its EU accession.
Producers on both sides want predictable, balanced and transparent conditions.
So how do you sequence market opening, regulatory reform, CAP access and EU support?
The goal: keep accession momentum while managing adjustment costs and market sensitivities on both sides.
And build on Ukraine’s contribution to EU food security and the resilience of EU agri-food value chains.

Given its scale, reform costs, the war and political sensitivity, the sector needs a tailored accession model:
Regulatory implementation
Gradual, safeguarded market opening
Pre-accession support
CAP preparation

The #Midterms26 debate over the Democrats' direction will echo in Europe. Social democrats, steadily losing support as junior partners in government, face the same choice: a more confrontational left or a moderate, consensus-based approach.

Last night's Democratic win in the #Midterms26 won't restore normality. Trump will lean harder on the powers he holds alone. Europe must prepare for volatility, plan for a world after Trump, and remember: these victories show democratic agency is real.
The fight over Ukrainian grain is the wrong place to start.
The CAP was never built for a country rebuilding from war. Ukraine needs a dedicated reconstruction fund and fast entry into EU programmes in defence and digital.
Get that right and the farm question gets easier.
Ukraine should face only temporary restrictions on agricultural products after joining the European Union, Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi told Euronews #EnlargementSummit26, warning against permanent exemptions from the bloc’s single market.… l.euronews.com/Rzii

A Democratic victory in the US #Midterms2026 won't restore stability to Europe or the world order, and it could make things worse. Without power in Congress, Trump is likely to rely even more on executive action and grab power wherever he can. Europe needs a plan.
As the US votes in its #Midterms2026 : whatever the outcome, Europe must plan for a changed world order. Trump’s eventual departure won’t restore the old one.
Celebrate democracy’s wins, without complacency. Accelerate democratic renewal. Build Europe’s own capacity to act! 🇺🇸🇪🇺

'Far right' is misleading. Calling the movement such normalizes them as just another political tendency. Behind their #traditional values lie personal ambition and unchecked power. They are anti-parties, bent on destruction rather than building.

@HakanFidan says reasonable people on both sides of the Aegean have kept the status quo intact, with neither Athens nor Ankara taking unilateral steps, until the two can resolve their disputes “in a really civilized manner.”

Türkiye and EU have nothing to lose but everything to gain in collaboration, stated the Minister of Foreign Affairs, @HakanFidan. He cited the multi-beneficial impact a customs union will have on EU's supply chain and the military strength that can increase security.
"Türkiye is not included." @HakanFidan stated that EU member states' veto power limits access and participation, hindering growth.
