The French Agriculture Minister, Hervé Gaymard, told European Agriculture Ministers meeting in Luxembourg on 27 June 2002 that France was fundamentally opposed to European Commission plans to radically revise the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy. French approval is essential if the Agriculture Commissioner, Franz Fischler, is to push through his plans for the biggest shake-up in agricultural subsidies for ten years.
