There are as yet no official proposals from the European Commission on the CAP post 2013 arrangements. It is expected that a first draft of a legal text will be available in mid October following which protracted negotiations will take place at the Council of Agriculture Ministers. In the absence of written proposals, it would be inappropriate therefore to comment at this stage on what might transpire in the future.
