CAP Health Check

As you know, the CAP (common agricultural policy) has already been reformed many times (for more details see “background” category). But this time, mind the gap…the European Union (EU) is going to take a big step!! Why more than the previous ones? Well, the CAP Health Check (CAPHC) is entitled to reform european agriculture but also falls within the scope of the budget reform as well as the environmental one. Nowadays, the CAP has to respond to new challenges such as climate change, biofuels, water management, biodiversity. The commissioner in charge of agriculture, Mariann Fisher Boel, announced in November that the commission is about to tackle these new challenges, the subsidies system and market support instrument.

Here on this blog, you’ll be informed of every single news related to the CAP. So, feel free to take a peek any time you want and to comment!
