Anne-Marie Boudou The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is currently unfolding. As a result of the treaty of Lisbon, the European Parliament (EP) is now co-legislator in this policy field and a lot of uncertainty remains as to how it will concretely seize this new role. What will be the impact of this change in decision-making on the outcome of CAP reform?
