Farmers claim they are not being paid enough and are being choked by taxes and green rules imposed by the trading bloc.
“We plan - as farmers - to go to Brussels and set up barricades because the (leaders) are meeting on Thursday,” Belgian farmer Eddy Dewite said on the side of a highway blocked by tractors.
Another Belgian farmer, 26-year-old Luca Mouton, said: “Time is up. [EU leaders must] think of the farmers.
“Talk to the farmers rather than about the farmers, discuss what is possible. We are open to dialogue.”
The protests in Brussels were sparked as a result of similar action in France where farmers blocked dozens of major roads in Paris and stormed a wholesale food market.
However, anger is bubbling up all over Europe with similar protests erupting in Germany, Poland and Romania with planned action to come in Spain and Italy.
