Following the end of tough negotiations this morning between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission without an agreement on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the Socialists and Democrats reiterate their commitment to fight for a sustainable CAP, which improves social rights, brings strong economic development to farmers and rural communities, and fights against climate change.
S&D coordinator in the agriculture committee, Paolo De Castro MEP, said:
“It was a missed opportunity, but our battle and our commitment to turn the Common Agricultural Policy into a true compass for social rights, for sustainable development and for a strong economic growth for the rural sectors and areas, will continue until eventually we will reach a real progressive agreement with the EU Council and the Commission.
