24-27 July 2009 – Libramont, Belgium
For its first year in action, the EU Roadshow could, for sure, not miss the open air Agricultural fair of Libramont organized in Belgium! Libramont is not only a window on agricultural life, but also an immense rural festival which brings together more than 100.000 visitors each year.
This year the famous fair of the province of Luxembourg gathered 169.178 people, which gave, once more, a good impact to the European Commission’s campaign. Animations and activities on the EU stand attracted a lot of people, from pupils to experts in the agricultural sector and farmers. The presence on the stand of students from Belgian Veterinary schools and interns from the European Commission gave an added value to the Roadshow’s presence. Visitors got the chance to receive more specific information about the EU rules and actions regarding the raise of awareness about biosecurity at EU borders and at farm level.
