Will MEPs scupper greening of EU agriculture?
Plans to force farmers to earn their subsidies by protecting the environment may be blocked by MEPs this week.
The European Commission wants farmers to repay society for their subsidies - worth about 50bn euros (£43bn; $65bn) annually - by supporting wildlife.
But farmers are unhappy and have persuaded the European Parliament's agriculture committee to reject key elements of the reform.
