European Union fails to settle $330bn agriculture fight

BRUSSELS: The 27-member European Union (EU) and the European Parliament have failed to settle their fight over the bloc's 270-billion-euro ($330 billion) agriculture budget in their latest negotiation round this week, postponing talks on a policy that affects millions of farmers to a later day.

"There is no deal," spokesperson for the Portuguese Presidency of the EU Council, Catarina Faria, told DPA news agency on Friday. The next official round would be scheduled for "probably June," she said, but this was so far undecided. IANS
