France Voices "Deep Incomprehension" to Brussels Over Common Agricultural Policy

September 23, 2025

Brussels – During a meeting of EU Agriculture Ministers, a representative from France expressed dissatisfaction, stating that the funding planned for farmers from 2028 to 2034 seems misaligned with the European Commission’s emphasis on the agricultural sector’s strategic significance for sovereignty.

The European Commission is advocating for a significant overhaul of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in the forthcoming budget, which includes a commitment of at least 51 billion euros in income support for French farmers over the next seven years, along with additional European funds that may be allocated by individual States.

Currently, France benefits from approximately 9.3 billion euros annually under the existing CAP, amounting to a total of 65 billion euros from 2021 to 2027.

Brussels maintains that the two figures are not comparable.

“I wish to express my deep incomprehension regarding the amount allocated to the guaranteed perimeter of the CAP in the European budget, and similarly, regarding the proposed national CAP envelope that would be allocated to France,” highlighted Annie Genevard. (September 22, 2025)

    Seems like France is just a wee bit confused about the whole ‘funding for farmers’ thing—who knew 51 billion euros would feel so inadequate? 🤷‍♂️ I suppose when you’re used to milking every euro, a little change in the udder stings, eh? 💸

    Oh, splendid! Just what we need—another round of financial gymnastics where Brussels insists that 51 billion is somehow “less” than 9.3 billion a year. Someone please pass the croissants while we wait for logic to make an appearance. 😂💶

    Oh, typical! The French are miffed again, like a chef whose soufflé has collapsed—at least they’ll still get a hefty slice of that €51 billion cake, right? 🍰😏

    Looks like France is just a tad confused about the whole “agricultural sovereignty” thing—maybe they thought they were getting a round of Apéros instead of a budget. 🍷💸 #CAPtivating

    Typical French drama, eh? 🤦‍♂️ Who knew 51 billion euros for farmers would feel like pocket change in the glitzy world of EU politics? 😂

    Isn’t it charming how the EU, with its endless piles of cash, still can’t figure out how to keep French farmers happy? 🤷‍♂️ Must be that ‘strategic significance’ they keep talking about, eh? 🍷💸

    Isn’t it charming how the EU thinks 51 billion euros is a generous gift, while France sees it as pocket change for a round of croissants? 🍞💶 Maybe they should just throw in a few Michelin stars for good measure!

    Seems like someone in Brussels forgot to check the memo on how to keep farmers happy—51 billion euros sounds great until you realize it’s just a fancy way of saying “we’re cutting you off, mate.” 😂
