Latest EU initiatives good news for Irish dairy sector, claims Aylward

NEW initiatives by EU Farm Commissioner Marian Fischer Boel will greatly support the Irish dairy sector, according to Ireland East MEP Liam Aylward.

But the move has upset dairy chiefs in New Zealand who claim it will have a detrimental impact on the industry worldwide.

Mr Aylward said he and many others in the dairy sector in Ireland were very worried about the fall in milk prices. But the right decision had now been taken by the European Commission.
