Special reports: The main challenges facing the CAP

EurActiv published in July 2016 a series of reports on the the challenges facing the agriculture sector in the European Union. Farmers needed to make further adjustment to face increasing global competitiveness and effective tools to face price variations.

+ New CAP is still struggling to find new export markets
+ New CAP can make EU farming profitable, Spanish farmers say
+ Crisis-hit French farmers unconvinced by new CAP
+ Smart farming trying to find its feet in EU agriculture
+ German farmers: 'Aid is not going to help active farms'

These reports were released as the European Commission presented a package of measures to support European farmers, following calls by several member states, including France.
