The agrichemical lobby already laying the ground work for the next Parliament | Corporate Europe Observatory:

 With the end of this Parliament's term approaching – EU elections will take place in May this year – it seems that agrichemical corporations and their allies are using the few remaining voting opportunities left to have a couple of usefully worded resolutions voted by this Parliament, which they know well and who has overall been rather supportive to their positions. This Parliament's Agriculture Committee for instance had the worst position among all EU institutions in the whole debate about the Common Agriculture Policy, with the outcome that the EU's biggest budget will keep funding the EU's largest landowners as well as most destructive and harmful agricultural practices. These resolutions will probably be used as references to convince newly elected MEPs.
