– We take due account because we are an agricultural country. We must take care of our agriculture. We must ensure that there is a safe and secure hand under our agriculture, he says.
With the measures in the proposal and already adopted measures, the government has found reductions totaling equivalent to 7.1 million tonnes in 2030
A broad majority in the Folketing has decided that in 2030 Denmark must have reduced its emissions by 70 percent compared with 1990.
If agriculture were to live up to it, it would have to be reduced by ten million tonnes.
Thus, part of the climate bill is still outstanding, even if the government receives support for its proposal.
Rasmus Prehn rejects, however, that the proposal puts an end to the government’s ambitions for reductions in emissions in the agricultural area.
– That we now stand with the road to 50 percent is really hammering good. Then we have to revisit this and stick to the fire, he says.
– We will continue until we reach the goal.
Question: Can you understand if employees in other industries might have a hard time understanding if their industry ends up having to deliver a little more if agriculture does not reach its goal?
– We have seen in many different areas that once you start to become concrete, it is incredibly difficult to achieve these things, says Rasmus Prehn.
– We’re going to deliver a huge bite here.
– I think that the vast majority of ordinary wage earners will be benovet over and will say that it is nice, and we can well understand that due consideration is given to an agriculture that has a large debt and where there is are slaughterhouse workers and followers who risk losing their jobs.
On Wednesday, the government will present its entire proposal at a press conference, Rasmus Prehn informs.
After this, negotiations with the rest of the parliamentary parties will begin on Thursday morning.
