Across the EU, the CAP is seen as beneficial to the entire bloc by 61% of respondents.
Meanwhile, 17% of respondents in Latvia do not think that the CAP has a positive impact on the entire EU population.
Asked if the CAP serves its purpose, for instance, ensures stable food supplies to the EU, 66% of respondents in Latvia and 72% in the EU said it does.
In November 2017, the European Commission released a statement on a CAP reform planned after 2020. It is expected that direct subsidy payments to farmers will remain a significant part of the CAP also in the future.
