EU ministers on Tuesday gave their final approval to a massive overhaul aimed at tightening the bloc's migration and asylum laws that had been years in the making. EU officials had been at pains to wrap up the migration reforms ahead of European elections scheduled for June.

Member states will have two years t...

Ministers from the member states of the European Union will meet in Brussels on Tuesday to finalize a massive overhaul of the bloc's migration and asylum laws.

Member states of the European Union on Monday agreed to loosen the environmental regulations for farmers seeking subsidies under the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The revision means farmers would face fewer hurdles when applying for CAP subsidies. For example, farmers would no longer be obliged to leave parts of their arable land fallow. Lively protests brought the EU's political centre in Brussels to a standstill in February, as farmers in convoys of tractors protested EU red tape. The CAP pays subsidies farmers rely on to stay afloat, but payments are conditional on strict environme...
