Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue this week expressed serious concern at European Parliament proposals that would undermine the voluntary nature of any future schemes to reduce the volume of agricultural production.
Speaking during and after the Agriculture and Fisheries Council of Ministers in Brussels this week, Minister McConalogue also called for comprehensive impact assessments on Farm to Fork proposals, and welcomed the indication from the EU Agriculture Commissioner that these are well under way.
