CAP Simplification “very high” on EU Agenda – Hansen

Reducing Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) administrative burdens and simplification of CAP rules are “very high” on the EU agenda. That’s according to the new EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Food who visited Ireland last week.

Christophe Hansen made the comments following a meeting of EU Agriculture Ministers in Brussels yesterday. The Commissioner says CAP simplification is something everybody asks for. And he said it was raised when he met farmers during his recent trips to Ireland and elsewhere in the EU.
