Farmers and truckers have disrupted traffic on roads near Bucharest and other cities in Romania for over a week now,
00:07
demanding lower taxes and compensation for losses caused by imports from neighboring Ukraine.
00:13
And since talks with the government have so far failed, they say their protest convoys aren't going anywhere.
00:20
Meanwhile in Berlin on Saturday, farmers joined eco-activists saying they fully support environmentally non-genetically modified farming,
00:29
but that they do need agricultural reforms and fair prices to achieve that.
00:34
And in southern France, mass protests over the past few days have forced the government to address farmers' issues.
00:41
As workers set up camp and blocked motorways, they claim that the authorities' eco-transition policies make national producers uncompetitive.
00:50
They say that this not only makes farms unprofitable, but it also forces people to search for products abroad.
