In this exploratory opinion, prepared at the request of the European Commission, the EESC provides its contribution to the ongoing reflection on the modernisation and simplification of the CAP post 2020.

A reshaped CAP must also get the correct balance between the needs of the consumer, taxpayers and producers.
