The easing of the burden on European farmers continues. At today’s Agriculture Council in Brussels, the EU agriculture ministers are expected to vote in favor of the European Commission’s proposals to relax environmental requirements in the Common Agricultural Policy until 2027 without any changes. Informally, the majority of ambassadors have already spoken out in favor of the CAP loosening. By foregoing amendments, the Belgian Council Presidency wants to save time and enable the dossier to be adopted before the European elections.
