NEGOTIATIONS ON CAP REFORM: work is ongoing

March was marked as follows:

• At the level of the European Parliament, measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic have stopped all meetings of the Agriculture Committee. However, negotiations on compromise amendments are continuing.
• At EU Council level, the meeting on 23 March was cancelled for the same reasons, and the informal summit on the 25th was almost exclusively focused on the management of the pandemic crisis, postponing discussions on the CAP reform & transition period on a date as yet unknown.
• The European Commission has postponed the presentation of the From Farm to Fork strategy to April 29.
