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. Colm Hayes:
They were offered either a five-year GLAS contract or to stay in AEOS. I cannot account for everybody's choice. However, they had the choice. I am not sure we could have done anything more than offer them the choice at the time. If they joined GLAS, by the way, they have a contract that brings them right up to the end of 2020.
