The City of Miami Commission is resuming their duties after a tumultuous week following the arrest of Alejandro “Alex” Díaz de la Portilla on corruption charges.

EU told to act now on farm reform or risk blowing Ukraine’s accession

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:05:55 GMT

PARIS — The European Union has “no vision” for farming and urgently needs to reform its massive subsidy scheme — the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) — to prepare for the accession of farming powerhouse Ukraine.That was the tough message from former agriculture commissioner and European lawmaker Dacian Cioloș at POLITICO’s Future of Food & Farming Summit on Thursday, taking place against the backdrop of a fight between Kyiv and the bloc’s eastern member countries over a glut of Ukrainian grain.“We have a short-term challenge now to manage the transition of the export of cereals from Ukraine. In my opinion, there is no vision in the Commission on how to solve this,” Cioloș told a panel discussion on the future of CAP. “My impression is that we wait for problems and then try to solve them.”With the Commission’s mandate due to end next year, the next proposal to overhaul the CAP — which accounts for a third of the EU budget — is not due to land until the second half of 2025.

Ozzie Albies’ run-scoring single off Daniel Palencia was the fatal blow.“It’s just a relentless lineup,” center fielder Cody Bellinger said. “We know we’ve played baseball and came out on the s...
