Re: José Bové Comes To Town (4.00 / 2)

Yes, the overall lines are written by the Commission, and member states decide on the exact shareout of subsidies in their country. (I think, for example, that aid to market gardeners is allowed, but France at least chooses not to distribute any: there are now not many left in France, either organic or not).

How much can Parliament do re the framing of the CAP, is a question I'm interested in finding out about.

Re: José Bové Comes To Town (none / 1)

The Commission is accountable to Parliament, and also the Court of Auditors, for how the 52 billion is spent each year. How accountable, it is difficult to understand.

You can't be me, I'm taken
