    The European Parliament held a historic vote to set out the rules for the EU's Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) on 13 March 2013 but unfortunately MEPs failed to vote for a fair and sustainable CAP reform. Green MEPs campaigned for a greener and fairer CAP and take stock of the outcome of the vote.
