The deadline for submissions to the public debate on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy post-2013 has been extended to close of business on Friday the 11th of June, 2010.

The European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dacian Cioloş, said

“I want the reactions and thoughts not only of farmers, but also of environmental protection associations, consumers, and animal welfare groups. We must open this debate up as much as possible. All of society benefits from this common European policy through food, land-use management, and environmental protection. So obviously citizens should have the right and the time to express their views”

Submissions can be made online by visiting the European Commissions web site.

Comments are open at the bottom for you to add your thoughts. Any and all input welcomed.
