This gives Ciolos and his officials a fairly tight timetable, given he must stage consultation with the food sector by a major planned CAP conference this July.

The Commission will then release a formal policy paper by December.

Ministers and MEPs would have longer to respond to the proposals – reforms must be introduced by November 2013.
