The European Union's
agriculture commissioner
Mariann Fischer-Boel has set
out proposals to trim the
Common Agricultural Policy,
the subsidy system which
accounts for about 40 per cent
of the European Union's
budget. She said the aim was
to streamline the CAP so
farmers could respond quickly
to market demand.
