It was 2️⃣ intensive and productive days at the Praesidium of COPA and COGECA, where all aspects of the upcoming discussion in the European Parliament on the new CAP were thoroughly addressed.
We engaged with 3️⃣ MEPs Rapporteur on key files for the future of the CAP/MFF: MEP Elsi Katainen on the NRPP, MEP Norbert Lins on CAP and MEP Eric Sargiacomo on CMO.
⚠️ COPA COGECA members confirmed the unacceptable nature of the 16 July proposal and stressed the need to ensure a strong, common and individualised CAP with a budget adapted to inflation
👍 We found MEPs who were attentive, aware of on-the-ground realities, and committed to bringing ambition, stability and coherence to the Commission’s proposal. COPA COGECA assured them of its full support and will actively contribute to the crucial debates in the year ahead.
🧭 Now is the moment to provide solutions for our farming community, which is strategic for the European project, food security, and competitiveness!
