No proposals have yet emerged on the CAP Health Check. Formal legislative proposals are expected to be published in May 2008. In advance of that a Commission Communication on preparation for the Health Check is envisaged for towards the end of next month. Agreement on the proposals is anticipated for the latter half of 2008 during the French presidency of the EU. I will be participating fully at all stages of the negotiations.
