In October, FAPRI-Ireland, a group of economists from Teagasc, the University of Missouri and certain Irish universities, published its analysis of the Luxembourg agreement and its effects on Irish agriculture. Out of the many options available, the study focused on three scenarios including partial decoupling of certain premia across all member states, full decoupling across all member states and full decoupling across the EU, with Ireland opting to couple the slaughter premium and decouple all other premia.
