Huge input on CAP consultation

Ray Ryan reports on the CAP consultation process which has seen 25,000 inputs to date, with more to come between now and May 2.

More than 25,000 respondents have already taken the time to have their say on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy since Commissioner Phil Hogan launched a wide-ranging consultation seven weeks ago.

The consultation is open until May 2, and then the work of analysing and assessing the responses will begin ahead of a July 7 conference in Brussels.
