Ms Jany-Roskova says they are guidelines. If a group of farmers in a region decides to come together and says they want to have one of these sustainability agreements and will do certain things from the list Ms Jany-Roskova has with the examples of objectives that would be covered. They can then go to another market actor, whether a shop or supplier, but if it is not binding, who is policing or enforcing this? If farmers come collectively together, is it just based on trust that all the farmers will do what they say they will do and the shop will give them the price it says it will give them, if it is just based on guidelines? I do not understand how it will be enforced other than just based on goodwill.
