CAP reform must reward active farmers
Good progress has been made in securing an overall CAP budget for the next seven years, and the agreement reached in Brussels in June minimised the damage the Ciolos proposals would have done to active, productive farmers in Ireland.
The implementation of CAP reform at national level is now a key issue for the IFA, and our focus remains on ensuring that monies available through Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 are targeted at active, productive farmers. Our executive council will meet on Wednesday to progress the best way forward.
