	Description:		Farmers have been blocking motorways and protesting across Europe – in France, Germany and Romania, and even in the European district of Brussels, where they have besieged institutions. Farmers say the EU is both imposing drastic environmental regulations and signing free trade deals with countries that do not abide by the same rules, which they see as unfair competition. Hard and far-right political forces in the EU seem to be capitalising on the discontent by calling for more protectionism and less norms. So what can the EU do for its farmers? We discuss the issue with two MEPs. Programme produced by Perrine Desplats, Sophie Samaille and Agnès Le Cossec
