EU to cap Ukraine's farm subsidy access after membership
Original: EU to limit Ukraine’s access to farming subsidies if it joins bloc
The EU plans to limit Ukraine's access to the bloc's farming subsidies if and when it joins, according to a Financial Times report. Brussels is concerned that bringing Ukraine's large agricultural sector fully into the Common Agricultural Policy would be too costly and could disrupt European farm markets. The move is likely to fuel debate over the terms of Ukraine's accession and friction with farmers in existing member states.
Why now: Ukraine's EU accession negotiations and farmer protests over agricultural competition have made farm subsidies a politically sensitive topic across Europe.
