BRUSSELS, Dec. 23 (Xinhuanet) - A total of 10 European Union (EU) member states are to introduce the fundamental reform of the Common Agricultural Policy from Jan. 1, 2005.

According to the EU executive European Commission, the reform c ompletely changes the way the EU supports its farm sector and most subsidies will be paid independently from the volume of production.

These new "single farm payments", or single payment scheme (SPS), will be closely linked to the respect of environmental, food safety and animal welfare standards.

Probably worth looking into. I'll wager Britain will take a shafting as usual!
