ICOS welcomes EU vote in favour of CAP reform, but concerned at threat to Ireland’s dairy sector
ICOS has welcomed the European Parliament’s agriculture committee vote 29-7 in favour of proposals to reform the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2020.
Among the main changes proposed by Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan, the main reforms included a €100,000 cap on direct payments and allowing greater flexibility to the Departments of Agriculture in each member state to decide upon farm policy.
