The situation has escalated in Brussels, where farmers have gathered in front of the European Parliament, burning tractors.
Although farmers' protests are not on the official agenda for the Brussels summit, they gathered to demand their rights.
According to the latest information, a thousand tractors gathered at the place where the summit will take place, while the protesters are mainly from Belgium.
Farmers toppled a historic statue in Luxembourg Square, while clashes with police were also reported.
Meanwhile, yesterday, French and Belgian farmers blocked a crossing point on the border between the two countries.
In France, the situation escalated even more on Wednesday evening, with the first arrests of farmers who wanted to block the Ranji market, the food hub of the Paris region.

A total of 91 people were arrested in the late afternoon, after a raid on the premises of this wholesale market, after the damage caused.
The aid announced yesterday by the French government and the concessions of the European Commission and imports from Ukraine, seems not to have satisfied the farmers, who are also mobilizing in Italy, Spain and Germany.
