Flash action of EU farming organisation on the unacceptable EU budget and the future CAP
Join us in Strasbourg – Rue Lucien Febvre on 21st October 2025, from 10.00 AM to 12:00 PM
On 16 July, the European Commission presented its proposal to reform the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the EU’s budgetary framework. On 25 September, the Praesidia of Copa and Cogeca deemed this proposal unacceptable, as it crosses numerous red lines that jeopardize the future of the sector. The ball is now in the court of the co-legislators — the European Parliament and the Council. Many Members of the European Parliament share our concerns, both regarding the substance of the proposal and the unprecedented way in which these initiatives have been driven forward by the top of the European executive. MEPs and Member States must not allow these flawed proposals to be pushed through. A better, more balanced solution is both possible and necessary — one that upholds the two-pillar structure of the CAP, ensures a dedicated and inflation-proof budget, and remains faithful to the EU Treaties.
