EU agriculture ministers are negotiating the future Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform after 2027, coinciding with the new EU budget for 2028-2034. Discussions in Luxembourg focus on reaching a consensus among member states before negotiating with the European Parliament. Key issues include defining 'active farmers' eligible for EU aid and reallocating funds to support smaller farms and young farmers. The current CAP funding is estimated at 300 billion euros, lower than previous allocations, with additional funds promised by the European Commission. However, some member states advocate for budget cuts in traditional policies, including CAP.
