On 12 June 2026, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation on temporary common agricultural policy (CAP) support and direct payment advances to help farmers deal with the rising fertiliser prices caused by the crisis in the Middle East. As farmers need to make prompt decisions on buying fertilisers for the next year, Parliament decided to use the urgent procedure, with no report. The vote on the proposal itself is expected during the July 2026 plenary session.
