Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Independent)

Could the Minister outline the progress made to date in getting flexibility at member state level for the revision of CAP? There is concern that there are different issues in different member states. The levelling of payments between those at the higher and lower ends is of huge concern in Ireland to ensure commercial farmers can remain financially viable whereas the overall cap on payments is a bigger issue in some other member states. Has any progress been made on bringing flexibility into that?
