The Hungarian National Rural Network (HNRN) has been active in publicizing the CAP reform process since 2009. The series of events started with a national conference, “The future of the Common Agricultural Policy” organized by the Presidency of the HNRN in December 2009 to discuss the various CAP scenarios. The future of the CAP was also a key topic at the meeting of HNRN thematic field representatives in February 2010. The meeting raised the representatives’ awareness of the CAP process and was useful in getting initial input for the regional events planned for April-May 2010. The regional events took place at seven locations in Hungary with more than 500 participants. Both meetings ended with two key conclusions. First, Hungary should aim to maintain Pillar I within the CAP based on its endowments that make it, and equally important is that the measures of the new Common Agricultural Policy should be comprehensive to deal with the diversity of rural areas. The extra meeting of the AGRI-ENRD-Coordination Committee (14.04.2010) was organized to launch a joint debate in member states on rural development policy, and to discuss the process to achieve a timely and structured contribution to the broader public debate on the CAP. After the meeting, HNRN Permanent Secretariat staff prepared a work plan for the public debate. Due to the time constraint (deadline for submission of NRN report: 3 June), the primary tools for the campaign were internet based, supplemented with a number of regional and HNRN thematic field representative meetings. We prepared the contents of the online campaign in close cooperation with various departments in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The HNRN has made the following channels of direct communication available for stakeholders to voice their opinion on the CAP.
