Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (9 Nov 2022) Charlie McConalogue: We fought hard to increase this as high as we could. We wanted it to be a lot higher.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (9 Nov 2022) Charlie McConalogue: In relation to the pillar 1 basic payment scheme, unfortunately this has been our experience for a number of CAPs.
