CAP 'is collapsing under contradictions', says ICMSA

ICMSA says 'substantially reduced budget' contradicts commission's pledge to ensure sustainable future for EU agriculture

ICMSA calls the post-2027 CAP a 'pale shadow' of previous landmark programmes.

The European Commission was warned the post-2027 CAP was “collapsing under its own contradictions” by the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA).

Speaking following a meeting with executive vice-president of the EU Commission for Cohesion and Reforms, Raffaele Fitto, ICMSA president Denis Drennan said the CAP being put forward for introduction post 2027 was a “pale shadow” of the effective landmark programmes of the past.
