“The Common Agricultural Policy – can EU citizens still follow?”
FNL/EISA1 (Bonn): The European Commission seems to be facing a communication problem: with the re-orientation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the EU has set targets which, with regard to their composition and priority-setting, are intended to have a stronger focus towards the interests of citizens in EU Member States. However, even today, there is a common misconception amongst the public, based largely on images that persist from the 1970’s and 1980’s, that surplus food continues to be produced, dumped and destroyed. Added to this is a lack of knowledge and understanding, among the public, about the CAP and its impact on their lives.
