New proposals put forward by the European Commission aimed at reforming the EU’s Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) have met with opposition by Czech representatives, including the country’s Agrarian Chamber and the Agriculture Ministry. The EU is trying to slash millions in annual subsidies which would leave the largest agrarian businesses hardest hit.
