EU’s new farm policy could boost beekeepers by mid-2026 under Hansen’s plan
EU Commissioner Hansen's proposals for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are currently under review in the European Parliament. Martin Häusling, a member of the AGRI Committee, is overseeing their implementation. The changes, which include increased support for beekeepers, could be incorporated into national regulations by mid-2026.
The proposal, presented to the AGRI Committee in September, is expected to be adopted by the end of 2025 or early 2026. Among other changes, it suggests supporting beekeepers per beehive from environmental funds for pollination services. Boštjan Noč, the President of the European Beekeeping Association, has welcomed these proposed changes.
Once adopted, the proposal will be integrated into national regulations, realistically by mid-2026. This process will ensure that EU member states align their agricultural policies with the new CAP guidelines.
