The CAP in the 2021-2027 MFF Negotiations

Abstract:

The most recent reform of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was concluded in 2013 and entered into force in 2015. In early 2017, the European Commission initiated a public consultation seeking ideas on the ‘modernisation and simplification’ of the CAP. Based on the findings of this consultation, the Commission published a Communication in November 2017 entitled ‘The Future of Food and Farming’ outlining its ideas for further CAP reform to coincide with the introduction of the next EU multi-annual financial framework (MFF) for the period 2021-2027.

Following a period of intense debate and further consultation with the European Parliament and the Member States among others, the Commission published its legislative proposals for the post-2020 CAP on 1 June 2018.
