Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to amend EU rules on agricultural subsidies, rural development, and related controls and penalties.

Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and forwards its position to the Council and national parliaments.

Parliament's amended version of the proposal to amend the CAP regulations focuses on simplifying rules, exempting small and organic farmers from certain conditionality, and limiting crisis payments to rural development only.
