Common Agricultural Policy reform gets final approval from MEPs

On Tuesday, Parliament gave the green light to the new EU Farm Policy. This reformed version aims to be greener, fairer, more flexible and transparent.

  • New policy strengthens biodiversity and adheres to EU environmental and climate laws and commitments
  • 10% of direct payments will go to small and medium-sized farms
  • Permanent crisis reserve to be used when prices or markets are unstable
  • Penalties for those who breach labour rules
