EU Weighs Capping Farm Payments for Ukraine Membership Path

Original: EU Plans to Limit Ukraine Farm Payments to Ease Membership Angst

The European Union is drawing up plans to limit agricultural subsidies Ukraine would receive under eventual EU membership, according to a Bloomberg report. Officials hope capping farm payments will reassure existing member states' farmers, who fear competition and budget strain, and smooth the way for accession talks with Kyiv. Ukraine's farming sector is large, making full subsidy access a costly and politically sensitive question.

Why now: Ukraine's EU accession talks and the political sensitivity of farm subsidies among member states keep the issue in the news.
