The Common Agricultural Policy: How 'Common' can it Remain in an EU of 27 member states?

This conference will discuss the future direction of the CAP after the 2008 Health Check.
The meeting focuses on the longer-term impact of the review on the agricultural industry, environment and rural development. How could the future direction of the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) be modified by the issues concerning food security and safety, energy security, the use of land for biofuels and concern for environmental issues after the 2008 Health Check review? Those are the main topics involving the 27 member states.
