The big challenges facing the farming world include climate change, the need for secure food supplies, food quality and business competitiveness, notes a draft resolution drawn up for the EP Agriculture Committee by George Lyon (ALDE, UK), which seeks to influence the debate on how best to remodel the common agriculture policy (CAP) in time for the EU's next multi-annual budget discussions.
Eiropas Parlamenta (EP) pārstāvji Elmar Brok (EPP, DE), Guy Verhofstadt (ALDE, BE) un Roberto Gualtieri (S&D, IT) uzskata, ka vienošanās sagatavo spēcīgu ES diplomātisko dienestu: dienestam būs spēcīgāka identitāte, turklāt būs garantēta tā atbildība pret EP no politiskā, kā arī no budžeta viedokļa.
