Commenting on the nomination of former Romanian Agriculture Minister Dacian Ciolos to be the new European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Liberal Democrat MEP for Scotland George Lyon said:

"Mr Ciolos has a lot of work to do to reassure the EU Agriculture Committee and farmers across Europe that he understands the need for a sustainable future for the farming industry.

"If he does not provide this assurance then he will not get my support or the support of the industry for his nomination."
