Today, we, the Leaders of the G7, convened a virtual meeting to address the deepening challenges to our energy security. Facing unprecedented volatility in oil markets - with surging prices threatening economic stability and the well-being of our citizens - we have agreed on decisive, coordinated measures to stabilize immediate energy supplies, shield households and businesses from price shocks, and strengthen the long-term resilience of global energy systems. We will coordinate maintenance schedules across G7 refineries to prevent simultaneous capacity shutdowns and temporarily increase utilization rates where feasible. We also encourage engagement with countries holding significant refining capacities to boost global production of refined products, particularly diesel, in light of ongoing market pressures in this segment. The G7 requests the IEA to monitor the immediate and full implementation of the March 2026 commitments. In this regard, taking into account commitments that have already been fulfilled, we will implement our commitments with a coordinated release through the IEA of 100 million barrels (MB) to begin immediately over 4 months, including a frontloaded substantial diesel release within the first 20 days by G7 members and partners. We will convene in the context of the IEA in the coming days to discuss the possibility of additional diesel releases as necessary. We reaffirm our commitment to refrain from export restrictions on energy and energy products between G7 countries and call on all producers to refrain from imposing bans that could exacerbate market tensions. We invite the IEA to monitor the impact of these measures on energy security and market stability and to monitor implementation of commitments. A follow-up report should be delivered before 20 days, include actionable recommendations to enhance future responses, including stocks replenishment. We condemn Iran’s continued attacks against its regional neighbours and its disruption of international trade, energy security and the global economy. We call for the immediate and full restoration of navigational rights and principles in the Strait of Hormuz and express our determination to redouble our collective efforts to that end. We commend the United States for its efforts to ensure the free flow of commerce through the strait of Hormuz. We will maintain sanctions against Russia while working with the IEA and global partners to prevent further spill overs into fuel, gas, and other commodity markets. Our citizens’ concerns about energy prices remain a top priority. We will monitor developments closely and stand ready to adjust measures as needed. Today’s agreements mark a step toward a more secure, transparent, and resilient energy future.

Good morning, everyone. My sincere thanks. Thank you for this welcome. I first of all wish to greet the hosts – Mayor Scheda, President [of the Province of Vercelli] Gilardino, President [of the Piedmont Region] Cirio – and Minister Lollobrigida, who spoke before me on this stage. I would like to thank them for their hospitality and for their words.  I would like to greet all the authorities present – my colleagues Pichetto Fratin and Zangrillo, the MPs and the many mayors I can see here as well as all the regional and local councillors – together with all the trade association representatives, athletes, teachers and the youngsters waving their wonderful tricolour flags in this piazza. I also wish to thank and greet FAO Director-General Qu as well as Deputy Director-General Martina, who is Italy’s candidate to take on the role of FAO Director-General, quite simply because we believe that there are few nations like Italy that can claim they have something to say on how to provide good food to all the peoples of the world.   I would of course also like to thank and greet the many ambassadors and diplomatic representatives who are here today, showing that today’s event speaks to the world. This has already been said a lot, so I’ll be brief. We are in the wonderful town of Vercelli today, in the churchyard of this magnificent abbey (which was a pleasure to walk through), to pay tribute together to many things. We are obviously here to celebrate rice, which is one of the Italian agri-food industry’s top-quality products, an iconic ingredient of our cuisine and, generally speaking, one of the world’s best loved Italian products. As has been mentioned, we are Europe’s largest rice producer, with exports worth more than EUR 800 million a year. The beating heart of this production is primarily in this part of Italy, between the Lombardy and Piedmont Regions – an extraordinary land, which alone covers a quarter of all the continent’s rice production, boasting the only Protected Designation of Origin status for rice in the whole of Europe. However, in this area, rice has never been just a simple product; it is much, much more. It is identity, work, culture, nature, respect for the local area, history. Rice cultivation has shaped this area, creating breathtaking landscapes. If you think about it, it even managed to work the small miracle of bringing the sea to a place where there was none – we are all familiar with that wondrous sight of the water-covered rice paddies in the spring, like a patchwork sea made up of an immense, mirror-like chessboard, reflecting the sky and the clouds and making the villages and the plain’s farmhouses seem like small islands. Rice production, and the flooding of the rice paddies, involves another of this area’s marvels, which has also already been mentioned: the Cavour Canal – one of the most incredible pieces of hydraulic engineering in Italy and in Europe. One could say this was the most far-sighted result of this region’s forward-looking water revolution, enabling Italian rice cultivation to achieve its current level of excellence and continue playing a key role in our domestic agriculture 160 years on. Today’s politics can learn from this. This teaches us a lesson about what isn’t working in today’s politics: the speed with which extraordinary infrastructure could once be built and the amount of attention that was paid to the most important element of all – water. Let’s try to learn from what our grandparents knew how to do so much better than us. Rice is clearly also synonymous with hard work, sacrifice, struggle and achievements. Together with the anniversary of the Cavour Canal, there is another number accompanying this important event: 120 years have passed since one of the most significant milestones in Italian labour history, namely the eight-hour working day. Today, we view this as an established right but, at the beginning of the 20th century, a genuine revolution was needed to achieve it – one which, moreover, was spearheaded, fought for and achieved by women. We know that women carried the burden of one of the hardest agricultural tasks ever to exist: ‘la monda del riso’ – weeding the rice paddies by hand. In our collective imagination, we have a very romantic idea of the women who carried out this work, based on songs and stories, but the reality was much harsher than the myth that accompanied and continues to accompany them. They worked exhausting shifts lasting up to 12-14 hours per day, labouring under the sun, their backs bent and their feet in the mud, surrounded by potential sources of infection and mosquitoes. Rice production has now changed profoundly: thanks to mechanisation, this extremely tough work has disappeared. I do not, however, think that this changes the fact we owe a huge debt of gratitude to those courageous, tenacious and fierce women, because their battles and demands secured rights that now represent true pillars of the labour market and the welfare state in this nation. I believe that, on this point – and I am saying this to pay tribute to a key figure in Italy’s political history – Emma Bonino would have agreed with me. All this is rice – the ‘white gold’ of this charming land. We agree with what the Mayor was saying. We think that this product still has a great deal to offer and a great deal to say. It clearly has a centuries-old history but our job is not just to look back at the story we have behind us; our job is to accompany that story into the future and make it increasingly known and loved. This is one of the reasons why this Government has always backed the event we are officially opening today, fully including it in the national calendar of major events dedicated to promoting Italy’s agri-food industry. We have done so because organising events like this means not only acknowledging the extraordinary work of Italian producers (which is also why I am here today) but also creating the conditions for the excellence of a given product – in this case the excellence of Italian rice – to become more and more widely known both in Italy and abroad and to receive support regarding supply chain problems, by talking about and discussing them. Today, the rice industry is clearly a jewel in the Made in Italy crown: a modern and integrated sector at the cutting edge; a competitive sector, especially in terms of quality, as is always the case for Italy on all international markets. As we are obviously aware of this level of competitiveness, we firmly believe that this asset must be promoted, protected and safeguarded against unfair competition from nations that do not comply with the same working, environmental and social standards we do (this too has been stated a lot). These are battles we have been fighting since this Government entered office and we are continuing to do so with determination; we have reiterated this in every forum and continue to seek alliances that can lead to us getting more and more support, more of a majority, and can increasingly enable us to change what needs changing in Europe. The matter of free trade agreements – the issue that was also raised by President Cirio regarding the agreement with Southeast Asian countries – responds to this need. There is the issue of plant protection products being used that are banned in the European Union but are permitted in other parts of the world, and the fact that we allow products onto our market that may contain plant protection products which we have banned for our own producers. So, the basic rule – which is simply one of common sense – is that you cannot enter into free trade agreements with nations that do not comply with the same standards you do. It’s one of two things: you either lower your standards, which is not what we want to do in Italy, precisely because our competitiveness is based on product quality; or you must defend those standards, because we do not compete based on quantity. We compete based on quality, and we have the duty to defend that quality. This doesn’t seem like a complicated argument to us. Likewise, also with regard to Europe, we are continuing to fight the battle to secure adequate resources for the agricultural sector. As you know, with regard to the next EU budget, an initial proposal was put forward to the European Commission to cut funding for the CAP. Italy has fought to restore those funds. Why? Not because we believe Europe shouldn’t invest in competitiveness, as is being discussed now, but because we do not think it would be wise to consider agriculture as an alternative to competitiveness, for the very reason that Europe and Italy are competitive above all in the agricultural sector. It would also not be wise to consider the competitiveness of our agricultural sector to be an alternative to strategic autonomy, because at a time when we are vulnerable on everything, we are not yet vulnerable when it comes to what we eat, and we do not want this to become the case. We must therefore protect what we have done well and start doing better where we are still lacking. With the same determination, we must keep fighting the most difficult battle of all: the one against the billions of euros worth of products that are sold around the world and passed off as being Italian when they definitely are not. Here too, Italian-sounding products are not competition; they are an act of theft, at the expense of our producers. They are an act of theft at the expense of those producers who are used to waking up at 4am. They are an act of theft which we cannot continue to tolerate. At the end of the day, for us Italians, as I was saying, it is quality that always makes the difference. This is why we have proudly chosen to put agriculture back at the heart of national policies, because agriculture means identity, production, the future and quality – and quality, like I said, is our playing field. I believe it is clear to everyone that we have done so with unprecedented investments and a vision capable of helping our producers to raise the bar higher and higher. I believe that, objectively speaking, Minister Lollobrigida’s role has made a difference over these years, because he’s a stubborn person – sometimes too stubborn. Today – and this isn’t thanks to the Government but to the producers, entrepreneurs and workers – Italian agriculture ranks first in Europe in terms of added value, agricultural income is growing and the agri-food sector is breaking all records. This is not enough for us; we must do more and intend to do more but, above all my friends, we can always do more. We can do it here, in this sector. This is why I am so pleased to be able to open this event here today, because behind every extraordinary Italian product, and so behind every single grain of rice, there is the hard work of entire generations, a proud identity and a proud legacy that always knows how to look to the future.  For us, defending this heritage means defending the essence, the existence and the very future of our nation, its people and its territory. We can only do this if we do it together: with the forward-looking vision of our entrepreneurs, the dedication of our workers and a Government and State that must simply avoid hindering those that want to generate wealth and uphold the excellence of this nation. Thank you.
