EU member states and the European Parliament have reached a provisional agreement on an overhaul of the EU’s huge farming subsidies, weakening environmental standards as part of plans to cut back regulations and paperwork for farmers.

the EU Commission had already diluted some green conditions attached to farming subsidies, and it went further in its new plans for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
