Future of the CAP
The Council had an exchange of views on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

Simplification was generally highlighted as an overall priority for future policies in order to release the full economic potential of EU farming and rural areas.

Some delegations were in favour of putting more emphasis in the future on rural development in order to invest in rural viability and vitality, whilst others warned against a reduction of direct support to farmers. (...)
