- I represent the entire EU and will fight to improve the situation of all farmers in the EU, so that it is worth being a farmer in Europe and in Poland. This will primarily be a fight for a common budget for agricultural policy. The current demands are not sufficient to achieve these ambitious goals of agricultural policy, which is why my great task will be to fight for the best possible budget. This will be the main point of my activity. The point is to prevent cuts to what has already been cut – stated Janusz Wojciechowski in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy".

- 15 countries are below the EU average, so this is not just a Polish problem. These are mainly Central and Eastern European countries, but also some so-called 'old Union' countries like Spain, Portugal, Sweden, or Finland. I think many countries will be interested in improving the situation of farmers – the EU Commissioner for Agriculture continued. - I think the German presidency will be a time of key decisions – he emphasized.
