The Commission communication entitled ‘A Vision for Agriculture and Food’ (COM(2025)0075) outlines the areas to be worked on to achieve an attractive, competitive and resilient agricultural and food sector for future generations. In particular, public support through the CAP remains crucial to sustain and stabilise farmers’ incomes.
In its communication entitled ‘The road to the next multiannual financial framework’ (COM(2025)0046), the Commission introduces the notion of ‘one plan per country’, alluding to a single fund managed at national level, which would be a major blow to the commonality of key EU policies, and would also have an impact on food security and food sovereignty.
Can the Commission answer the following questions:
- 1.How does it plan to fund the objectives outlined in the vision, while avoiding reductions in CAP resources and addressing the impact of inflation?
- 2.Does it stand by the proposal for a ‘single fund’ that would merge financing from key policies such as the CAP and cohesion policy, despite concerns about the potential dilution of their specific objectives and priorities?
- 3.How does it intend to safeguard Parliament’s role in shaping the future multiannual financial framework, to ensure that the Union’s actions fully reflect the needs and expectations of its citizens and territories?
