Michael Colreavy (Sligo-North Leitrim, Sinn Fein)

Ireland must use this opportunity to push for a Europe that invests in people, that cares for the well-being and the living standards of all. That approach must be applied also to the reform of the CAP. We should push for a policy that provides enough to keep as many farmers as possible on the land. CAP reform should ensure that all farmers are able to attain an equitable standard of living while environmental concerns are also addressed.
