Summary/Abstract: Former EU Commissioner for Agriculture expresses his views about the hot issues of the Hungarian agriculture after the recent farmer demonstration. As he writes: in the difficult situation at the time it was widely believed that the country's membership in the EU would be a miracle cure for all political debates, would resolve all the problems of the agriculture overnight, while the funds from Brussels would take care of income needs. Perhaps it is no surprise that disappointment is in the air; the miracle cure doesn't live up to the promises of the doctors who prescribed it. What is the solution? A long term agricultural strategy - this is the author's answer.
