The Agriculture and Fisheries Council meeting took place in Luxembourg, today (14.04.2014), chaired by Athanasios Tsaftaris, Greek Minister for Rural Development and Food.

Firstly the Council adopted a set of legislative and non-legislative acts including a catalogue of Commission delegated acts in the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform package. Following that, ministers had an exchange of views on the report from the Commission on the functioning of the fruit and vegetable sector since the reform of 2007. They also dealt with the milk quota system, following the discussion at the last Agriculture Council in March on the "soft landing" measures with a view to the abolition of the quota system.

Finally, under the title “Any other business”, a list of items were also examined including the repercussions of drought conditions in Cyprus and the problems caused to winter crops by the frost in Latvia.
