Recommendations for Common Agricultural Policy reform proposal 2020-2027

As the biggest exporter and importer of agricultural food products, the EU holds a particular international responsibility. EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is therefore an important policy area when it comes to mainstreaming Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD) in EU legislation.

The current CAP is going under a reform proposal for 2020-2027. Therefore, this paper, created by CONCORD together with partners from Local dairy Campaign, West Africa, have gathered recommendations on how the EU can and should integrate PCSD into the CAP.

The paper especially targets the European Parliament Development Committee (DEVE) that is currently discussing the reform.
