EuroNews - Interview - A Danish view on agricultural reform

Food issues are very much in the headlines with European consumers forced to pay more for what they eat and soaring prices causing food riots in developing countries. This comes as the European Union carries out a major review of the Common Agricultural Policy which takes 45% of the EU's budget - mostly paid in subsidies to farmers. There is major disagreement among EU members on how the CAP should be reformed. Denmark, a major food exporter with a long agricultural tradition, wants to see member states follow its approach, including more environmentally sensitive farming, as the Danish Agriculture Minister Eva Kjer Hansen explained to EuroNews.
