Simplified CAP model proposed
Copa Cogeca’s move comes after the European Commission launched a screening exercise to simplify the entire agriculture legislation. Secretary-general Pekka Pesonen said the most urgent problems that farmers are facing when implementing the new CAP are the gaps in the rules and the lack of clarity, especially vis-a-vis the greening rules.
“The risk of unintentional errors during the first years of implementing the CAP will therefore be high, which would automatically cause payments to be cut.
