34 - Final CAP down - what went wrong?
The failure of negotiations on the reform of the EU’ Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) took no one by surprise. The decisive ‘Jumbo’ trilogue‘, aimed at reaching a ‘full package deal’ on the EU’s forthcoming farming subsidies programme, turned out to be a bust.
After four days of tense talks, a disagreement between EU lawmakers on a technical detail concerning the greening of direct payments to farmers paved the way for a breakdown in the interinstitutional negotiations on the reform of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council were expected to seal a deal on CAP reform in a final trilogue, originally scheduled for 25-26 May. The two sides opened what was meant to be the final stretch of talks over the future of the policy on Wednesday (26 May).
