Hundreds of tractors paralyze the center of Brussels on Monday, on the sidelines of a meeting of Agriculture Ministers of the Twenty-Seven. As on February 1, the Belgian capital once again became the epicenter of agricultural anger: some 900 agricultural vehicles were counted by the police.

Anxious to defuse discontent, member states demanded from the European Commission a plan to “simplify” the CAP rules. But beyond short-term measures, Brussels opens the door to "medium-term" legislative revisions.
