The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, which is to be wrapped up this year, is resulting in a move towards sustainable development and greater fairness. However, it is being threatened by pressure from the agro-food lobbies, declares the founder of the Slow Food movement, who is launching an appeal to Europe's citizens and their MEPs. 
The Common Agricultural Policy was one of the contentious points of the last week’s EU summit. In the midst of an economic crisis, how can we join the French and defend spending €50 billion on a policy that benefits wealthy landowners and does nothing to protect the environment, rages ecology columnist George Monbiot. 
Accused of isolationism for steering clear of the December 9 EU26 growth and stability pact, David Cameron is only protecting, like other European leaders, his country’s vital interests, writes a British columnist. 
On 18 November, the European Commission will present outline proposals for the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy. The main objective: to restore a balance in the sharing of costs and subsidies.
