Reality Check:

Are Common Agricultural Policy subsidies paying for environmental quality?

 July 7^th, 9 to 11am  

CEPS, 1 Place du Congres, 1000 Brussels

The CAP reform debate has started in earnest in the EU and as it progresses, more and more questions are being raised around the costs and benefits of the current policy. Why do farmers get this money? How much do they get and what is it really delivering? These key questions prompted BirdLife International to produce a report, using newly released data on CAP payments, to identify the relationship between CAP subsidies and environmental quality.

 The results of the report, and its political implications, will be presented and discussed at the Centre for European Policy Studies on July 7^th between 9 and 11am.

 RSVP to trees.robijns@birdlife.org or call 0032 2 2800830 by July 5^th.
