Copa-Cogeca remains concerned over proposals to create Ecological Focus Areas (EFA), since this would mean “reducing the amount of agricultural land available for production”. The International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM) for its part has criticised what it perceives as a political watering-down of the EC greening proposals, and has called on EU leaders to ensure “a food and farming policy that delivers sustainability across both pillars” (Pillar 1 of the CAP includes direct aid payments and market management tools, while Pillar 2 covers rural development).
