"The farming industry in Germany – well positioned for the international market and competition"(Federal Minister Ilse Aigner)
In our globablised world central political topics take on increasing international importance. This also applies to the BMELV areas of activity. The BMELV assumes a range of tasks in conjunction with negotiations and decisions within the European Union on agriculture, consumer policy or food as well as on questions of international co-operation like for instance global food, dismantling barriers in international trade, opening up new markets and, last but not least, good bilateral relations with countries on all continents. This work is supported by the BMELV staff in German embassies and representations across the globe.
