CAP reform: Proposals for 2014-20

This briefing looks at the historical background to the Common Agricultural Policy and recent reforms and summarises proposals for the forthcoming reforms in three contributions to the debate – a report by the European Parliament; the Pack Report on the future of agricultural support in Scotland; and a Communication published by the European Commission. It considers reaction to these proposals, the position of the UK Government and a joint position published by the Devolved Administrations.
