European Farmer Co-ordination (CPE) consists of 18 farmer and rural organisations from 11 European countries (Members and non members of the EU). It was created in 1986 following European farmers' meetings which had been held annually since 1981. Its members propose an in-depth reform of the agriculture policies in Europe and in the world, in particular of the Common Agricultural Policy (European Union).
CPE's priorities:
- many sustainable family farms,
- economic recognition of the farmers'work through the sale of their products, which must represent the major part of his income,
- sustainable modes of production respecting the quality and safety of the products and care of the environment,
- supply management,
- a fair distribution of the public funds between farms, between sectors of production and between regions,
- balanced production among all the regions of Europe,
- a relation of solidarity with the farmers of Central Europe and other continents
- the elimination of dumping in international trade.
CPE co-ordinates the positions and the actions of its members concerning European policies. CPE engages or takes part regularly in actions and public awareness campaigns, in common with other partners, (for ex lobbying for the prohibition of hormones, antibiotics in feedstuffs, etc.).
