Many French farmers are complaining about selling their produce at a loss or at a price which only just allows them to cover costs. In 2014, their incomes either decreased or remained stagnant depending on the sector.
1. Does the Commission have any data on the change in French farmers' income since the implementation of the CAP reform in 1992?
2. Does the Commission have any comparative studies which can be used to measure differences and changes in farmers' revenues across the Member States?
