Common Agricultural Policy: Statements.

 

There is a major difference between the original Fischler proposals and the agreement which emerged in Luxembourg last week. It must be recognised that significant advances have been made, even if the proposals will not be acceptable to all the farming organisations or the public at large. If the Minister had been capable of pleasing everybody, he would not be in Kildare Street but in the hot seat in Europe, possibly in Mr. Cox's position. The proposals in what is known is the Luxembourg deal are a major improvement on the original proposals.
