THE CAP Post-2013 – Summing-up conference on the public debate

The aim of the conference is to bring together diverse stakeholders and their contributions presented during the public debate launched by European Commissioner for Agriculture Dacian Cioloş earlier this year. It provides an opportunity for further discussion on the future of the CAP after 2013.

The conference is an important step in the Commission’s preparations for a Communication to be issued later in the year that will prepare the ground for proposals for the CAP post-2013.

The programme will include the following topics:
 Public opinion of the CAP and a summary of the public response to the debate;
 Panel discussions with leading experts, representatives from think tanks, stakeholders and NGOs, representatives of the food chain and European institutions;
 Workshops and open debates dedicated to food security, maintaining EU food production capacity, provision of public goods through agriculture, preserving the environment and the countryside, maintaining the viability of rural areas, promoting quality and diversity of food, nutrition and health.

EPHAC has been invited to speak on the panel "Quality, diversity, Health".
