For strong political commitments to the livestock and foie gras sectors

General Assembly of Euro Foie Gras

Ambition, efficiency and determination: these were the watchwords of the Euro Foie Gras General Assembly which was held in Paris on 14 June 2024, just a few days after the European elections. This new political and legislative era is an opportune time to sketch out the orientations of the European foie gras sector and Euro Foie Gras for the next 5 years and beyond.

Realistic but also ambitious, members had a constructive exchange of views on the short, medium, and long-term strategic action plan that will structure future actions for both the European foie gras sector and the Federation. This plan will be adopted before the summer break.

Opening a new legislative term means closing another one. On this occasion, Christophe Barrailh, President of Euro Foie Gras, expressed his “warmest thanks to those who did not stand for re-election or who were not re-elected, and who have particularly distinguished themselves in recent years by their strong and continuous commitment to the agricultural sector, and in particular the foie gras sector.” The Federation wishes them all the best for the future. The members also stated that it is essential for the agricultural sector, including livestock farming, to be supported by the new political decision-makers given the growing challenges it faces.

Furthermore, Euro Foie Gras’ members were delighted to see that foie gras is still as popular as ever with consumers: the latest Eurostat figures indeed show that almost 120 countries around the world buy this delicacy. And because “everything is good in fat palmipeds”, other products also delight consumers’ taste buds: magret, confit, etc.
