Returning meaning to the Common Agricultural Policy

Whereas the European Commission has just launched a consultation on the Common Agricultural Policy for future budgetary planning of the European Union (post 2020), the reasons for disenchantment with regard to this policy should be considered, for this is a policy that is less and less well understood by many farmers and by the general population. Account should then be taken of the constraints to which the CAP is subject, before looking at the directions that could be taken to restore the confidence of Europeans in this European policy by returning meaning to it.
