ICMSA: 'Possible huge losses in farming here'

The ICMSA farming organisation is claiming if the paper tabled at the World Trade Talks in Mexico today is adopted it would mean huge losses in the farming and food sectors here.

According to the organisation's President Pat O' Rourke, the paper calls for complete elimination of export subsidies to certain markets and for even greater market access.

He said this provides an open door for the WTO to attack and dismantle some of the direct payments recently agreed upon.
