MEPs debate on CAP. The proposed changes to current EU common agricultural policy (CAP) rules seek to relieve farmers of unnecessary and time-consuming administrative obligations. To cut the red tape still further and make the rules clearer, MEPs want more flexibility in how farms can apply the CAP’s environmental rules and propose to increase the maximum limits for support for small farmers. The amendments to the rules on the common organisation of markets in agricultural products (CMO) would strengthen farmers’ contractual position in the food supply chain and thus stabilise their income. In their report, MEPs clarify when agricultural products can be called “fair” or “equitable” and when to use the term “short supply chain” on labels or in advertising.

MEPs debate on droughts and extreme weather events as a threat to local communities and EU agriculture in times of climate change. Droughts and extreme weather events pose significant threats to local communities and EU agriculture amid climate change. Increasingly frequent and severe droughts are straining water resources, impacting crop yields, and threatening food security across Europe. Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall, further exacerbate these challenges by causing crop failures, soil erosion, and damage to infrastructure. Addressing these issues is essential not only for protecting the livelihoods of communities dependent on farming and rural economies but also for safeguarding agricultural productivity.
