Europeans and Italians like new CAP that 'helps the climate'

Europeans and Italians like new CAP that 'helps the climate'

Eurobarometer survey also shows support for trade deals

After a year in which tractors and farmers ravaged the capital of Europe, European citizens' support for the CAP could not be stronger: Brussels is cashing in on the fact that, in 2024, public awareness of the main source of funding for farmers reached its highest level since 2007 and that, for over 70% of those interviewed the EU, through the CAP, is "successfully" playing its role in providing healthy, sustainable and high-quality food for their tables.
    The new CAP - which came into force in 2023 after a two-year transition - is popular with Europeans and even more so with Italians.
    This emerges clearly from a special Eurobarometer survey entirely dedicated to the common agricultural policy, according to which 77% of Europeans and 82% of Italians recognize its role in ensuring food supplies in the EU, while 66% of Europeans and 80% of Italians see its contribution to the complex fight against climate change.
    While Europeans' attachment to one of the founding community policies may not be surprising, what is more surprising is the positive impact that trade agreements on agriculture have, according to the majority of interviewees.
    About seven out of ten interviewees (71%) believe that such agreements are an advantage for food consumers and Italy is among the countries where opinions are most positive, with 80% of interviewees considering them 'fairly' or 'very positive'.
    The trust shown in the EU comes just a few weeks after the signing of the disputed trade agreement with the South American bloc of Mercosur (Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina), which, instead, worries farmers and their associations.
    The survey also focuses on the priorities that, according to Europeans, should end up in the next CAP, from ensuring a stable supply of food at reasonable prices to strengthening the role of farmers in the supply chain.
    It is a sign that the discussion on the future post-2027 CAP has already begun at the European Commission as it is a central part of the negotiations for the next long-term EU budget (2028-2034).
    The deadline for the proposal from the EU Executive is set by the end of the summer, even if the most pessimistic think it will slip to autumn. Before then, the appointment to look forward to is set for the end of February, when the Vice President for Cohesion, Raffaele Fitto, will present the new 'Strategic Vision for EU Agriculture', promised by Ursula von der Leyen in her political guidelines that in July guaranteed her an second tern.
    It is a proposal that will give a first taste of how the future Common Agricultural Policy will look.
