‘Reform CAP to meet challenges of food security, growth and jobs’

THE EU needs a better tailored, reformed Common Agricultural Policy, to answer the challenges of food security, growth and jobs in rural areas.

Agriculture and Rural Development Commissioner Dacian Ciolos was speaking during his first official trip in his new capacity to Spain – the country that holds the presidency of the EU Council for the first half of the year.

He said European agriculture must address the demands of the market and the expectations of society concerning public goods, the environment and climate change.
