European farmers burn tires, protest at EU ministers meeting: ‘We don’t make a living’

European farmers dumped tires on the streets of Brussels before setting them on fire on Monday, as they protested against competition from cheap food imports, excessive environmental rules and subsidies favouring large firms. “We’re here again in Brussels today as farmers because the European Union (EU) is not listening to our demands. Our demands are for fair revenue. We don’t make a living out of our work. We produce the food and we don’t make a living. Why is that?” French farmer Morgan Ody asked.
