At the request of the AGRI Committee, the study on "The Green Deal and the CAP: policy implications to adapt farming practices and to preserve the EU's natural resources" was commissioned by the Policy Department B and realized by the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment of France (INRAE) in cooperation with Agro Paris Tech University. It provides a comprehensive review of the European Green Deal (EGD) initiatives related to agriculture and the food system.

Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski, responsible for agriculture, will present the Commission’s recommendations to the Member States on the national Strategic Plans under the current CAP while the next CAP is under negotiation by the co-legislators.

The AGRI Committee invited DG AGRI (EC) to present its evaluation of the CAP measures applicable to the wine sector. The EU is the world’s leading producer, consumer and exporter of wine. We are however assisting to a change in this trend with a declining on domestic consumption and growing opportunities on the world market, and therefore the wine sector is increasingly focusing on competitiveness and quality rather than on volumes of production.
