8. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the extent to which he has studied the submissions received from the Irish Farmers' Association and other farm organisations setting out the various preferred options in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy reform; the extent to which he expects to be in a position to achieve the objectives set out; the degree to which he expects to be in a position to ensure that the Irish and European food producing sector is adequately safeguarded and promoted in view of the pivotal nature of the industry and its major economic significance and if he expects the CAP reform provisions to remain constant in the course of any subsequent World Trade Organisation negotiations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
