Mr. Fabien Santini:

We are bound by the treaties in that regard. There is an annex to the original treaty that explains what are agricultural products. Apart from seeds, all the other inputs, including fertiliser, pesticides and barbed wire, are not agricultural products according to the treaty and, frankly speaking, we cannot change that. A legal basis is provided by five or six articles in the treaty which state what the EU should aim at in terms of agriculture and fisheries. What is meant by agricultural products is listed in an annex to the treaty and there is little we can do about that. The Commission cannot change that.
