CAP and rising food prices

ORAL QUESTION H-0517/08
for Question Time at the part-session in July 2008
pursuant to Rule 109 of the Rules of Procedure
by Neena Gill
to the Council

French Agriculture Minister Michel Barnier has called for Europe to establish a food security plan and resist further cuts in Europe’s agriculture budget. However, such a move could be counterproductive, raise worldwide food prices at a time of crisis and do nothing for the long-term health of European agriculture. Would the Council outline its view on the impact of the CAP on food prices?
