European Union negotiators stuck a deal on reforms to the bloc's huge farming subsidy programme today, introducing new measures aimed at protecting small farms and curbing agriculture's environmental impact.
"It fills me with great satisfaction being able to state that we have done it!
"On some points we may have wished for a different outcome but overall I think we can be content with the agreement we have achieved," EU agriculture commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski said in a tweet.
The deal was negotiated by representatives from the European Parliament and EU member states.
Both parties must formally approve the agreement.
