As a group we have requested agricultural scientists to put together an alternative proposal for a new CAP. The coordinators were Jean Marc Boussard and Aurélie Trouvé. We (well, mainly the scientists) have been working at it for almost a year. Jean Marc Boussard presented it to European NGOs in Brussels on 14thJuly and Aurélie intervened during the big CAP conference organized by Commissioner Ciolos on 19/20 July in Brussels. (See 'AGENDA'). Printed copies of the English and French text were distributeds at the meeting in Brussels.

We got funds from Oxfam/novib, the Netherlands, and from Friends of the Earth Europe to pay for this research.

See the proposal for a new policy (34 pages, including a summary of about 4 pages at the beginning) , in English and French.

See also the the annexes (On Biofuels, American agricultural policy, market power, WTO), in English.

The French version of the annexes has three annexes in French and one (market power) in English.
