The future Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) must place agriculture at the heart of the EU's budgetary priorities. AREFLH firmly believes in the European added value of a well-funded common agricultural policy, which is essential for maintaining a resilient and competitive agricultural sector, strengthening rural cohesion and supporting the convergence of the least developed Member States and neighbouring countries towards EU standards.

In this regard, AREFLH has called on the European institutions through a detailed position paper, the main points of which are set out below.

Our key proposals for the MFF 2027-2033:

• A. Respecting the sequence between the MFF and the CAP legislative proposals
• B. Avoiding fragmentation of the single market and ensure cohesion
• C. A budget adjusted for inflation

Our key proposals for the CAP

• A. Preserving the CAP as an autonomous and dedicated policy framework
• B. Maintaining a specific and open sectoral budget for fruit and vegetables
• C. Protecting multiannual planning and the security of agricultural investments
