Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Upcoming CAP Negotiations: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
4:00 pm
Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
I think there has been a reference in some of the narrative to 2022 or 2023. The possibility of rolling it over to 2023 is also referred to in the European Parliament report, with implementation of a new CAP starting in 2024 or 2025. That has not been conceded yet and nobody has said it formally but one can see there is a lot going on in the next couple of years that will make it politically and practically difficult to negotiate any significant reform.
