Copa-Cogea seeks greater focus on risk management

More focus must be put on measures to help farmers better manage risks under the Common Agricultural Policy.

Copa and Cogeca, the European umbrella bodies for farmers and co-operatives, made the call as European Union farm ministers held an informal meeting in Estonia’s capital, Tallinn.

Cogeca president Thomas Magnusson welcomed the Estonian EU presidency priorities to make progress on the future CAP over the next six months.
