In their declaration, the V4’s (Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland) agricultural chambers expressed strong opposition to the EC’s June proposal to cut farm subsidies by more than 20% and phase out the Common Agricultural Policy in the 2028-2034 EU budget cycle.
The chambers argued that the agricultural budget should remain at least at the 2021-2027 level and be increased in line with inflation.
They also called for the preservation of the CAP’s two-pillar structure.
In addition, the chambers rejected proposals to reduce area-based income support and to exclude farmers reaching retirement age from eligibility.
