CAP Strategic Plans
On 6 December, ENVI will consider the above draft opinion based on a Commission proposal which merges the current two instruments in a single one: the CAP - direct payments to farmers instrument financed by the EAGF and the EAFRD.
The new CAP will pursue a number of specific objectives falling in the ENVI remit, such as to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation; foster sustainable development and efficient management of natural resources such as water, soil and air; contribute to the protection of biodiversity, enhance ecosystem services and preserve habitats and landscapes; promote bio-economy and sustainable forestry; improve the response of EU agriculture to societal demands on food and health, including safe, nutritious and sustainable food, as well as animal welfare.
