Protesting Spanish farmers block roads near French border

Description

Dozens of Spanish farmers block the AP-7 motorway linking Spain and France in the northeastern Spanish region of Catalonia with their tractors, as part of a string of protests against the difficulties facing the sector. Farmers across Europe have been protesting for weeks over what they say are excessively restrictive environmental rules, competition from cheap imports from outside the European Union and low incomes.
