About the Event:

The European Commission released its legislative proposals for a major overhaul of the Common Agricultural Policy on 12 October 2011. The major components of the proposals include a reform of the direct payments system to make it more equitable across member states and the ‘greening’ of direct payments, whereby 30% of payments will be devoted to environmentally supportive practices. At this event, leading agricultural economist, Prof Stefan Tangermann, provided a robust critique of the Commission’s proposals. 

See this event report for more details.

Professor Tangermann was the author of a major report on CAP reform for the European Parliament in 2011, which was critical of the proposed reforms.
