Amending the EU’s ‘health check’ reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy, MEPs said: “Member states [should] increase their quotas temporarily if the quotas of other member states are under-used.”
This will be welcomed by the European Commission, which has faced opposition from EP agriculture committee members to its planned 1% annual increase of quotas until 2013-14, ahead of their 2015 abolition.
