CEJA hails historic political agreement on strong young farmers’ measures in CAP reform

This afternoon, COMAGRI MEPs accepted the political agreement on all four dossiers of the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2014-2020 following a renegotiated mandate from the Agriculture and Fisheries Council under the Irish Presidency. Over 18 months after the European Commission released its legislative proposals for CAP in October 2011, the three institutions finally came to compromise agreements on all of the open issues involved.
