The CAP

Michel Barnier, France's environment minister, said that Africa and Latin America should consider their own versions of the CAP.

I agree, the current food crisis proofs farm aid is essential.
I agree, but wonder where Africa and Latin America are going to find their own versions of the EU’s €40 billion CAP budget.
I disagree; protecting agriculture = killing people!
I disagree, Barnier only said that because France wants the keep the EU CAP as it is now.
