Dear friends, I believe this event on the common future of the EU and Ukrainian agricultural sector could not come at a better time. Today, the EU and Ukraine stand at a crucial crossroads. We must choose a path that strengthens Ukraine's economic resilience during wartime, creates fair and balanced conditions for our integration into the EU internal market, and shapes a future in a large union where economic synergies clearly outweigh the costs. Nothing illustrates these crossroads better than agriculture. For now, this topic is still too often viewed in a short-term, defensive way as a source of threats to avoid, risks to manage, and costs to reduce.
This approach is neither accurate nor productive. Over the past few years, the facts and figures of Ukraine's agricultural trade have shown a very clear promise. A promise that Ukraine can bring real value to the European agricultural sector and to Europe's food systems as a whole. A promise of stronger internal competitiveness, helping restore agriculture as a meaningful economic force within Europe, and the promise of external competitiveness, reinforcing Europe's role as a reliable contributor to global food security. I hope that these studies presented today will show precisely how Ukrainian agriculture, structurally diverse, technologically innovative, and remarkably agile, can survive and prosper with minimal state support.
And I also hope they will enrich the debate in the EU on the post-2027 CAP and on how Ukraine's agriculture sector can be integrated into it. The diversity of Ukrainian agriculture is not an obstacle. It is a case study, a demonstration of how large companies, medium-sized farms, and small family producers can operate together in an open, competitive environment. This experience can inspire the EU as it designs the next step. Ukraine should not be seen as a complication.
If anything, it should be seen as a source of ideas and motivation for modernization. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Regional Identity of Germany and to the German-Ukrainian Agricultural Dialogue team for their invaluable support for this event and for fostering a close and productive EU-Ukraine dialogue on agriculture. We deeply value this partnership and look forward to strengthening it as Ukraine moves closer to the CAP framework and the European family. I also want to thank the researchers and institutions behind today's studies, and all of you for contributing to this discussion. Ukraine and the EU need a fresh, constructive look at this crucial part of Ukraine's accession process so that, together, we can ensure a sustainable and prosperous common future for our farmers, industries, consumers, and societies.
