The Irish Minister for Agriculture, Simon Covene, met his French counterpart, Bruno Le Maire, in Paris on 18 March 2011. They highlighted the strategic importance of agriculture in their own countries and for the future of Europe as a whole. They agreed to work together to ensure that the reform of the CAP delivers an ambitious policy, adequately funded, to reinforce and develop the strategic importance of agriculture to the EU. The ministers also resolved to work diligently to ensure that the current commercial negotiations between the EU commission and the 'Mercosur' countries did not damage or sacrifice beef production in Ireland and France. |
