CAP for Innovation, Efficiency and Competitiveness

About the event

A session organised by the European Liberal Forum, with support of the Renew Europe Group, for MEPs and stakeholders to discuss the Common Agricultural Policy. This stakeholder dialogue will allow for liberals to define the key principles and the way forward for European funds post 2027. ELF’s new publication on a future CAP will provide a starting point for the discussion with a selection of experts. The event is under Chatham House rules and by invitation only.
