EU budget deal for farmers raises wildlife concerns
The European Commission is fighting a rearguard action to force farmers to work in a way that benefits the environment.
The Commission, which drafts EU laws, proposed that farmers should have to "earn" a third of their subsidies by protecting wildlife better.
The scheme was weakened as part of last week's grand bargain between EU leaders at their budget summit in Brussels.
