Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association
3:25 pm
Mr. John Enright:
On the questions of the Common Agricultural Policy, a proposal for some linear reductions, for example for young farmers, the national reserve for disadvantage areas and so, we would have concerns about these linear reduction because they could add up to be a significant percentage of all the money for the various initiatives being implemented. We have suggested other options, such as a cap being used to fund those initiatives.
