Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Draft Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan 2023-2027: Discussion
Ms Oonagh Duggan:
The CAP is with the European Commission for review and approval. It will be assessed against the European Green Deal elements. There is scope for increasing ambition. I would like us to be as loud as possible in doing that. Do I expect to see a transformation at this point? I do not. There are tweaks that could be made to make it a bit better than it is. We have to remember that the CAP regulation finally agreed is not great. We can increase ambition under one of the articles. It is up to all of us to make those requests.
