The Presidency Conclusions contain a vision about the main elements of the future CAP that is shared by the majority of the Member States. I would therefore like to thank all my colleagues in the Council and their teams for the spirit of agreement, for the consensual mood and for all the hard work and good cooperation over the past months.” Rumen Porodzanov, the Bulgarian Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry and President of the Council

The Bulgarian Presidency today enabled the EU member states to come closer to a common vision for the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2020, adopting Presidency conclusions on the topic. These are intended to make a positive contribution to the debate on the future CAP and serve as useful guidance to the Commission in the preparation of the forthcoming CAP legislative proposal.
