Fazekas: The EU must support family farms

The new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) should represent the interests of the small and medium-sized family farms and the present level of support can not be reduced – Fazekas Sándor, Minister of Agriculture said in Brussels, after the meeting of the EU’s Agriculture and Fisheries Council.

The head of the ministry underlined that the primary task of the area granted supports under the CAP is to provide an income-compensating contribution to those farmers, whose income is still well below those of other sectors. (MTI)
