I apologise, I thought it was put to a vote in Slovakia.
The dream is now just a dream, reality has set in. A Trading Agreement is great, once anyone sees how the Agricultural Policy was set up, they see the flaws. Local politicians playing to farmers to get voted in.
Led to farms that should close being State Funded and larger farmers becoming very rich. In Portugal they were paid to grow oranges and no one bothered to pick them, no point. They were paid just to grow them. Led to the milk and wine lake, mountains of wheat and other produce rotting.
