Agriculture ministers of all 27 EU countries during the meeting in Luxembourg agreed to reform the new Common Agricultural Policy of the bloc to strengthen control over environmental and climate problems, Euronews reports.
According to the Minister of Agriculture of Germany Julia Klöckner, the ministers “came to a very important agreement.”
