Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin says Commission is open to fair price legislation

Protection in national law for primary producers from the power of retail multiples and major processors, including a national Food Ombudsman, featured in Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin’s pre-election pitch to the IFA Executive Council.

He said that FF has taken its proposals for fair price legislation to the EU, and found the Commission very receptive.

FF promises that it will seek to re-direct unspent funds by increasing ANC (disadvantaged) payments, and supports a top-up payment to achieve a genomics payment target of €200 on the first 20 cows.
