Position paper - The future of European agriculture: five principles to guide the reform of the CAP

The American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (AmCham EU) continues to broadly support the ongoing reform of the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP), which will be critical to moving toward fairer and greener European agriculture. AmCham EU members look forward to contributing input and expertise as the European Commission’s communication on The Future of Food and Farming is translated into concrete legislative proposals.

In this paper, we identify five priority areas in which we consider it essential that the upcoming CAP reform deliver: market orientation, innovation, a more sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture and the international dimension.
