Protesting Against the CAP

Protesting Against the CAP
French farmers ride their tractors from the headquarters of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, to Paris to protest against proposed changes to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU). The CAP supports agriculture in EU member countries. Some EU members complain that the CAP is too expensive, but the countries that receive the largest percentage of CAP funds are reluctant to agree to reform.
