EU Ag simplification plans “balanced and pragmatic” – Hansen

Proposals to simplify EU Agricultural rules and boost farmers’ incomes were discussed today in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Last May the European Commission presented a simplification package of the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). This  followed calls to alleviate excessive administrative reporting and regulatory burdens on farmers and other agri-food sectors.

EU Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen today told MEPs, the Commission’s simplification proposals were balanced and pragmatic.
