Ader signs 'Save Bees and farmers!' European citizens' initiative

President Janos Ader has signed the "Save Bees and Farmers!" European Citizens' Initiative. The president added his name online to the initiative on Monday. Ader noted that with over 20,000 tonnes of honey produced each year, Hungary ranks second in the European Union after Spain. In terms of acacia honey, Hungary is a leader, he said. He called on the EU to do more to ensure that European consumers can get hold of the honey it produces. It should also protect its markets from cheaper, poorer quality honey from outside the bloc, he added.
