22 23 <strong>The</strong> <strong>BMELV</strong><br />
In our globalised world, we can no longer shape policy issues<br />
only with regard to Germany. This also applies to the <strong>BMELV</strong>’s<br />
field <strong>of</strong> activities, for instance with regard to European Union<br />
decisions on agriculture <strong>and</strong> fisheries, consumer policy <strong>and</strong><br />
food.<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore, the <strong>BMELV</strong> actively represents German interests<br />
within the European Union <strong>and</strong> the responsible multilateral<br />
organisations. <strong>The</strong> <strong>BMELV</strong> also performs a multitude <strong>of</strong> tasks<br />
related to issues <strong>of</strong> international cooperation. Here, the focus is<br />
on key issues such as the global food situation <strong>and</strong> climate protection,<br />
the dismantling <strong>of</strong> barriers in international trade, the<br />
maintenance <strong>of</strong> existing markets, the opening up <strong>of</strong> new markets<br />
<strong>and</strong>, not least, good bilateral relations with states on all<br />
continents.
