The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is one of the first common policies adopted by the European Union and it is the most integrated European policy in the European Union. Regarding the new Common Agricultural Policy, this will be a greener Common Agricultural Policy, which will support the transition to a more sustainable agriculture, with major objectives in what the climate, environment and animal welfare are concerned. Stimulating organic farming is an important step for each country's economy because the future of Europe, of all the people, depends on a healthy planet. We can state that the new Common Agricultural Policy marks the beginning of an evident change in the way we practice agriculture in Europe. The directions of the new Common Agricultural Policy are: a more equitable Common Agricultural Policy, a greener Common Agricultural Policy, a more flexible Common Agricultural Policy. These objectives will be implemented from January 2023 by all Member States, which will have to develop strategic plans. The article presents the analysis of the directions of the new common agricultural policy and states new elements for a long-term sustainable development framework in Romania together with the rest of the member states of the European Union, which must move towards the new type of "green" agriculture.
