Farm row splits EU partnership

Article Abstract:

There is considerable tension between France and Germany over agricultural policy. These two countries have established a tradition of deciding the broad direction of European Union policy in advance, but they are likely to come into conflict at the forthcoming informal one-day European Union summit at which the reform of the common agricultural policy will be discussed. France takes one-fifth of all European Union farm spending, and Germany is now pressing France to accept that it must make real concessions.
