Common Agricultural Policy: Statements.
I agree with Senator Quinn's comments on developing countries. Relative to the United States, the European Union's record on support for developing countries is good. Ireland, in particular, has a good record in providing overseas development aid. We also have responsibilities to ensure that products are not dumped on countries trying to develop their agricultural sectors from a small base. In addition, we must accept that we are wealthy and they are poor.
