The still in-charge politicians of the Greens and Left do not intend to defend area subsidies in negotiations for reform of common agricultural policy EU. According to these, in the future farmers should receive money only for measurable climate and environmental – reports Agrarheute.
Subsidies area are not future
From the portal stance it appears, that in concern with the accession of Ukraine to the EU payments based mainly on the quantity of land for crop “are not future.” Payment of land can be served only for small farms. In other cases the basic subsidy per hectare should be replaced by payments that reward measurable climate-environmental effectiveness in agriculture.
According to governing factions, future support for agriculture should be consistent with the principle “money public for public services.” Farmers should receive premiums for concrete activities for protection of climate, soil, water, nature and animals, for which does not receive any gratification
in the market. Money from direct subsidies should therefore be shifted to environmental activities.

Capping returns?
In its stance, the German government federal has also mentioned the instruments of degression and capping -. a therefore limiting support for the largest agricultural producers – which previous Germany consistently rejected in previous agricultural reforms EU.

EU budget. I also want to prevent other situations of exhaustion of resources for action, which has occurred when the rule was “who first, that
is better.”

Less bureaucracy and control
Reds and Greens postulate also diametrically simplifying the WPR and “slimming down” the related bureaucracy.

should be fewer and oriented only on evident risks.

Crisis in agriculture
Reform WPR in opinion Berlin, should also determine a clear distinction between market crises and weather crises in agriculture.
Market crisis in far far following the Brussels, but weather crisis should be solved at the level of national authorities.

The federal government postulates also introducing transparent criteria for use of EU reserve agriculture.

Election already behind the belt
It’s hard not to notice, that the German government of the already dissolved governing coalition has presented its vision of a new WPR, when the campaign is already going before the deadline elections to Parliament scheduled on 23 February.The Greens and Left replicate in part the slogans reported earlier in election programs of center-right groups and ultra-right AfD -. at least those referring to the progress WPR, reducing bureaucracy and giving more competence in shaping agricultural policy to member states. This would fulfill the demands made by protesting German farmers, and their voices are fighting now against factions.
But, that the Greens and Reds
in Germany further oppose for Green Land and the agricultural politics they want the climate-environmental politics, dropping the
promises of low food prices by fighting monopolies and the dictate of large corporations. The Right then
strongly speaks “stop” for implemented climate strategies, giving priority to developing competitive in global market German industry and agriculture.
