Farmers could get paid twice over for 'greening'
Plans to force Europe’s farmers to earn their subsidies by protecting the environment are under attack by MEPs.

The Commission says part of their subsidy should be tied to environmental benefits like, say, leaving a portion of arable land un-cultivated.
