Macra news: ‘Young-farmer proof EU aid measures’

New measures introduced under the EU Aid Package at national level should be co-funded, innovative, and young-farmer proofed, according to Macra na Feirme national president Seán Finan.

His comments followed a discussion between the EU Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan and young farmers at the CEJA — the European Council of Young Farmers — General Assembly in Brussels last week.

CEJA welcomed the announcement of a new support package by Mr Hogan at the farm council.
