Regular listeners will be familiar with the frustrations that European farmers face, trying to comply with the rules and regulations of the Common Agricultural Policy. In Episode 59 of "Food for Europe," we discuss the plans underway to simplify those rules and regulations and help farmers get their subsidy payments earlier.
At this stage, however, the plan is still a work in progress. For the package to take effect, it must first be approved by other EU institutions – such as the European Parliament and the Council.
