Von der Leyen's Letter to Cypriot President Regarding Common Agricultural Policy

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, sent a letter to the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, and the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, regarding changes in the funding of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the 2028-2034 framework. The letter assures that the CAP will remain a central pillar of European policy with a secured budget of €293.7 billion. It also proposes early access to resources from the mid-term review, amounting to approximately €45 billion, for immediate support of farmers, as well as enhanced crisis management tools and support for rural areas with at least 10% of the funds.
