The European Commission co-finances information measures relating to the common agricultural policy that aim, in particular, at:

a. explaining, contributing to, implementing and developing the policy, 

b. promoting the European model of agriculture and helping people understand it, 

c. informing farmers and other parties active in rural areas,

 For citizens, the priority themes will deal with general topics about the CAP and should focus on its three core elements: food safety, sustainable management of our natural resources and the development of our rural areas. 

The objective of these actions is to inform a large number of people about the basic issues of the reformed CAP.
