Title
.: LUFPIG - The Land Use and Food Policy Intergroup :.
Description
LUFPIG is a unique MEP-led intergroup of politicians that interacts regularly with the agri-business community. For nearly 20 years LUFPIG has brought together MEPs from across the European Parliament whose work is affected by the operation of agriculture and food policy.
Our aim is to provide a forum for debate for those players in the various policy areas who do not normally interact with politicians. As an intergroup on the boundaries of Parliamentary Committees dealing with issues from budgets, to international trade, development, the environment and consumer issues, in addition to agriculture, LUFPIG is well placed to do this.
It was created to bring together MEPs from different policy areas who, whilst not all agricultural specialists, could see the impact of the CAP on the issues they were involved in. At the outset, the debate was centred around the funding of the CAP with MEPs insisting that it be cut. However, the consensus opinion soon emerged that issues other than money would form the crux of successful reform and the Intergroup's remit broadened quickly to encompass areas relating to external trade, development, environment, food policy and consumer issues.
