ECA report: securing agricultural product supply chains during COVID-19

The European Court of Auditors (ECA) published a special report assessing the EU response to the Covid 19 crisis with regards to the agricultural product supply chains.

The report “Securing agricultural product supply chains during COVID-19: EU response was rapid, but insufficiently targeted by the member states” led by ECA Member Joëlle Elvinger concluded that while the Commission reacted rapidly and on multiple fronts, there was scope for improvement in the adoption and implementation of the emergency measures. Learning from the experience with the pandemic will be an important step in preparing for future crises.

The report is available online, together with the response of the European Commission.
