Dacian Cioloș participates as a moderator in a dialogue organized by Farm Europe, in partnership with UABC, an event dedicated to analyzing the future directions of European agricultural policies. The meeting is structured as a “policy dialogue,” bringing together representatives from the agricultural sector, the food industry, and decision-making bodies at the European level.

In this context, the role of Dacian Cioloș is that of a discussion facilitator, without direct institutional involvement, drawing on the experience gained as former European Commissioner for Agriculture. The dialogue focuses on key topics for the post-2027 period, when the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will enter a new cycle of reform.

The agenda includes the competitiveness of European agriculture in the context of global pressures, adaptation to environmental requirements and the green transition, as well as the strengthening of food security. It also addresses the role of technology and the need for more efficient investments across the agri-food value chain.

The event reflects the growing trend of shifting the debate on agricultural policies toward think tank environments, where proposals and strategic directions are formulated prior to the initiation of legislative processes at the European Union level. For Romania, such platforms can indirectly influence future agricultural priorities, particularly in terms of funding, competitiveness, and adaptation to new European standards.
