The first of two simplification packages foreseen by the 'EU Vision for Agriculture and Food' is nearing completion. This is the Omnibus package dedicated to reducing the administrative burdens linked to the CAP, to be followed later this year by a broader package covering various topics of interest for the entire agri-food supply chain. Targeted aid for the CAP and a Transition Fund for a sustainable agriculture

Developed in light of the work of the Dialogue on the Future of Agriculture launched by President Ursula von der Leyen in January 2024, the EU Vision for Agriculture and Food serves as a roadmap for upcoming initiatives and legislative proposals for the agri-food sector.

The document, presented by Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen together with Executive Vice-President for Cohesion and Reforms Raffaele Fitto on 19 February, was illustrated by Hansen to the European Parliament plenary on 13 March. On that occasion, Hansen confirmed that Brussels has planned both a package of simplification proposals for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), to be presented by June 2025, and a second package by the end of the year with legislative proposals introducing simplifications in various areas of interest for the agri-food chain.
