In its proposal for a reinforced long-term budget, the Commission will increase the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) by €9 billion (€4 billion for the CAP's European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and €5 billion for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development). An additional €15 billion will be made available for rural development under Next Generation EU to further support rural areas who have a vital role to play in delivering the green transition and meeting Europe's ambitious climate and environmental targets. In a press conference held yesterday, Commissioner Wojciechowski said: “The Commission's proposal recognizes the strategic importance of our farming sector and the continuous support that the EU wants to provide to our farmers and rural economy. It will help to better support farmers to deliver the green and digital transition.”
