French Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau called on Wednesday in Brussels to quickly "simplify" the procedures of the Common Agricultural Policy. “We cannot have a CAP that is so complex and incomprehensible, sometimes both for our administrations and our farmers.
We need to resolutely commit to the path of simplification,” he told the press. As agricultural protests intensify in France in unison with other countries, he met in Brussels with his Belgian counterpart, MEPs, and the European Commissioners for the Internal Market and Agriculture.
