CAP reform package positive for organic sector, says Coveney

The proposals presented by the European Commission in the Common Agricultural Policy reform package are very positive for the organic sector, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has said.

Mr Coveney was responding to a pre-Christmas Dáil question.

Thomas Pringle, Donegal South–West Independent TD, asked Mr Coveney to outline his plans to use the new CAP measures to increase the area of land in use for organic farming
