The future of agriculture and the post-2027 common agricultural policy
The future of agriculture and the post-2027 common agricultural policy is an own-initiative report, meaning Parliament sets out its own position on the subject; it is not itself a law and is not binding. It was handled by the Agriculture and Rural Development committee together with Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. The tabled amendments call for safeguarding direct aid and income support for farmers under the CAP (with debate over capping, degressivity and targeting active or professional farmers), improved social and working conditions and social conditionality, support for cooperatives and small farms, updated POSEI allocations for outermost regions, better rural broadband and internet access, digitalisation and artificial intelligence for irrigation, Pillar I and II support for beekeeping, and recognition of price volatility affecting farmers.

Plenary votes
9 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
