Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
12:30 pm
Mr. Trevor Donnellan:
It is not for me to decide that. Member states are being given greater discretion with respect to how they shape the Common Agricultural Policy to meet the specific needs of a member state. At a European level in Brussels, the environmental dimension is centre stage with respect to agriculture. The deliberations of this committee on agriculture are not unique in that regard. The interaction of agriculture with the environment will be very prominent in the next CAP.
