The European Commission on Thursday proposed relaxing some environmental demands on farmers, simplifying administration and cutting the number of checks in a bid to assuage angry protests from the agriculture sector.

"The message from farmers is clear: they want to be working in their fields, not stuck behind files," EU agriculture commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski wrote on X.
