On June 1, 2018, the European Commission published its legislative proposals for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post 2020. Notably, these proposals cut direct subsidies paid to farmers in most Member States but increase them in the Baltic countries and other Eastern Member States. The Commission also increased the share of support targeting smaller farms. The proposals cut rural development program funds. It is likely that European Council and Parliament will debate these proposals over the next 12 – 24 months.
