Common Agricultural Policy in the EU after 2013: Challenges and Expectations
The main change for agriculture was that the European Parliament came to share in the power of the European Council to amend, reject or accept proposals of the European Commission in all legislative policy decisions in the area of agriculture, such as for the next reforms of the CAP. What have been the changes in the CAP during the last two years? What are the proposals from the European Commission for further CAP reform after 2013? And what have been the reactions from the EU member states? Mr Chmiel will outline the challenges for reform in CAP's two main pillars: direct payments to agricultural producers and rural development. He will also discuss how the CAP reforms after 2013 will impact on third countries, such as Australia.
