The Government completely opposes the single fund approach and the Minister is on record as saying the integrity of CAP has to be maintained. I welcome that and the fight for a stand-alone CAP. The simplification of CAP is fair. If we do not get a stand-alone CAP, will the Government step in and directly support our vulnerable sectors if the EU does not do so under the next CAP programme?
