What is being negotiated?
The Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union (CAP) is one of the most complex and significant policies of the European Union (EU), both in terms of the volume of the acquis and the resources from the overall Union budget intended for this area. Namely, the funds intended for agricultural policy account for just under 40% of the total Union budget, which is a clear indication of the importance of this policy.
The Working Group was formed in October 2012. The negotiator for this chapter is Radana Damjanović, Director General of the Directorate for Agriculture at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Head of the Working Group is Kristina Lapčević, Head of the Economic Analysis Unit at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Contact person for the Working group is Granica Kovačević from the European Integration Office.
The Working group consists of 67 members (36 from state institutions and 31 from the civil sector).
