Commissioner Cioloş on the future EU budget 2014-2020 and agriculture
30/06/2011
"With the presentation of the European Commission proposals for the Multi-Annual Financial Framework for 2014-2020, we have taken an important step for the future of the CAP. In the current context of economic and budgetary pressure, the European Commission is proposing to maintain CAP spending at 2013 levels, namely €371.7 billion, to which we add additional room for manoeuvre of €15.2bn, in total €386,9bn available for agriculture. With this global envelope available for European agriculture we can preserve the EU’s capacity to react with force and with clear will – to permit this strategic sector to respond to the major challenges of tomorrow."
