Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion

Mr. Jack Nolan:

Negotiations are ongoing. There is no sectoral target. The Minister wants to know what each Department is doing and are they committed to it. My Department has clearly shown that we are committed to it. We want to continue producing high-quality food but in a sustainable manner because if it is not produced sustainably, we will not be able to export our product, which is what we do with most of our food - export it.
