The Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives of Catalonia (FCAC) has announced its plans to issue a formal complaint to the French government following the attacks on trucks loaded with fruit that occurred a few days ago, and which have been repeated yesterday morning against a truck of the company Agromarket, from Torrefarrera. The complaint will be announced at the meeting of the Hispano-French-Italian Committee, which will be attended by representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as of the sector.
Ramón Sarroca, president of the FCAC, will take part in the videoconference to be held by the three major stonefruit producing countries. This is a "violation of the right of free movement of goods within the European Union," he notes. He also explains that "we want to express our support to the cooperatives and growers affected by these incidents, since it is not true that the trucks did not carry the necessary documents, as representatives of the French government have argued."
