Brussels/Spelle, 11^th October 2021 – The European market for grassland equipment, which includes the product categories loaderwagons, mowers, rakes and tedders, showed a significant increase in sales units in the season July 2020-June 2021. After a rather mediocre market in the season 2019-2020, sales were at the level of 2018-2019.

Today, the European Parliament held a debate on the future of EU-US relations.

But at the same time, the S&Ds insisted in the debate that the EU should seek to redefine its relationship with the US on a more equal footing, standing up for its own values and interests, and reinforcing its autonomy.
