It is not a case of Europe versus Irish farmers. The fact that ten countries are opposing the European Commission's review plans means that our negotiating hand is strengthened not weakened. The Common Agricultural Policy is more important to Ireland, per capita, than any other member state. In 2001 we received £1.6 billion from the Common Agricultural Policy. We received livestock premia, area aid, price supports for milk and export refunds. How strong will our negotiating position be if we are seen to be holding up the development of the Union? The fact is that a "No" vote would dramatically weaken our hand in the discussions to which I refer.
