The Agriculture and Fisheries Council (AGRIFISH), is one of the oldest Council configurations, along with the Economic and Financial Affairs Council and the General Affairs Council. It brings together Ministers responsible for these policy areas, who meet once a month for one or two days. The Agrifish Council is in charge of some very important EU policies, like the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). It also deals with key issues such as food safety and animal health, plant protection, forestry, and the setting of common rules for the markets of agricultural products.
