The EU restricts agricultural imports, fixes prices and pays out massive subsidy for non-production via the CAP.
Perhaps market manipulation by the EU should be reassessed if the consequence is widespread and necessary use of illegal labour by some of the richest farmers in Europe.

Objectives
Article 39 TFEU sets out the specific objectives of the CAP:
1 to increase agricultural productivity by promoting technical progress and ensuring the optimum use of the factors of production, in particular labour;
2 to ensure a fair standard of living for farmers;
3 to stabilise markets;
4 to ensure the availability of supplies;
5 to ensure reasonable prices for consumers.
