Submissions invited on new payments system

The Department of Agriculture has thrown the new farmer payments system in 2015 open to the public for consultation.

Advertisements this week invite submissions to be made up to September 20.

Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney is committed to comprehensive consultation with all relevant stakeholders, to ascertain their views on the most appropriate application of the new Pillar 1 (which is mainly the single farm payment) regime of the CAP, and help the minister make decisions.
