16 NGOs urge European Commission to withdraw proposed CAP revisions, citing disregard for democratic principles and farming-biodiversity interdependence.

16 NGOs have urged the European Commission to withdraw its proposed revisions to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), arguing that it disregards democratic principles and ignores the interdependence of farming and biodiversity. European farmers are protesting against increased environmental measures, cheap imports, and unfair commercial practices. The European Commission is considering changes to the CAP, including granting temporary derogations for farmers affected by unforeseen climatic conditions and allowing member states to amend their CAP strategic plans twice a year.
