I watched this video to see if there are an positive arguments for CAP. I was genuinely intrigued and open to the idea of having my opinion changed but all I came away with is a feeling that Michel Barnier needs to learn some economic theory.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and parties like the EPP do a huge amount of damage. I'd urge their members to get an education. The unregulated and free market internet has made this very cheap.
True, the EU is just protecting its own market. That's good for Europeans farmers, but it's opposing the liberal free trade market Europe says it wants to have.

economics 101
protectionism hurts everyone
Europeans pay more for their food
non EU farmers are hurt by having a smaller market
also
Protectionism is frequently criticized as harming the people it is meant to help. Nearly all mainstream economists instead support free trade.
Protectionism has also been accused of being one of the major causes of war
the only people how profit form it are politicians by getting EU framer votes and the EU farmers that get big subsidises
