A greener CAP? – An analysis of the Commission’s greening proposal for the Common Agricultural Policy
• The environmental impact of greening will be minor in relation to the costs incurred and the administrative consequences. • The greening requirements are too broad, which can lead to compulsory adjustments in forest districts with negligible or negative environmental impact. • If the more effective measures within the Rural Development Programme must be changed due to greening, the programme’s environmental benefits may be reduced.
