EU agriculture ministers agree a position on the new farm policy
The framework for 2028 to 2034 would merge the two current funding pillars into one structure, with national and regional plans.
What we know
- Support rules agreed by ministers
Not yet
- Budget figures
- Caps on large payments
The deal is partial: it leaves out budget figures and caps on payments to large farms, which depend on the EU's 2028-2034 budget talks.
What's in it
Every country must define an active farmer, with room to adapt it. Support would favour small farms and young farmers, with higher payments and a start-up package.
