ICOS seeks milk support price review

IRISH milk producers and processors face serious income losses if the EU Commission’s mid-term review of the CAP remains unchanged, according to Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS) president Dessie Boylan.

Speaking at the AGM of ICOS, Mr Boylan said his organisation opposes the 25% support price cut, as it goes beyond the Agenda 2000 Agreement.

He said that Ireland would face a larger impact from the support price cut than most other member states.
