IFA urges EU to show solidarity with farmers
Responding to the launch of a public consultation on the future of CAP, Mr Healy said EU Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan’s top priority should be to ensure farmers achieve viable incomes in return for the high quality food they produce.
“Strong funding for the CAP budget is justified by the multiple benefits the policy brings for all European citizens, in terms of sustainable food production, environmental protection and economic development,” said Mr Healy.
