EU farm ministers agree to move away from production-based subsidies and divert funds to rural developments. It is the EU's most significant farm reform since 2003, which introduced the concept of 'decoupling'. That is EU jargon for breaking the link between how much farmers produce and how much subsidy they receive - the old system was criticised in the developing world for distorting trade and encouraging over-production that created the bloc's infamous 'grain mountains'.
