Around 80 new tractors arrive at a protest held by Italian farmers on the outskirts of Rome to pressure the government to improve their working conditions. Italy is one of a number of countries across Europe where farmers have staged weeks of demonstrations to demand lower fuel taxes, better prices for their products and an easing of EU environmental regulations that they say makes it more difficult to compete with cheaper foreign produce.

Farmers use tractors to block roads in Stary Konik, just east of Warsaw, Poland, to protest against EU climate measures and imports from Ukraine. IMAGES
Spanish farmers block traffic on one of the main arteries of the Spanish capital Madrid, protesting at "unfair competition" from products imported from countries "that do not respect European standards". Like their European counterparts, Spanish farmers are also protesting against the cumbersome bureaucracy and complex standards imposed by Brussels, and complaining about the low prices at which they have to sell their produce.
