They are trying to cut the agriculture budget again. Nothing really new there it has fallen steadily since the 80's anyway.
The big question is how quickly the 2004 accession states will get the same slice of the pie as the rest of us that will surely impact negatively the sfp for us here.

Well if MGQ says it wout affect us then...............we're f**ked aren't we:(

The devil is in the detail and the allocation we get from that budget will change. And we will probably have another wheelbarrow more of senseless paperwork to fill out to get less. Hence her assurances that the new agreement will provide jobs

MGQ is a member of the party that brought you the Cumann, cOmitea's, tea and sandwiches (that would be Fianna Fail lads; the party that shafted the fruits of our ancestors hard work and have turned this country into a living joke). We know the realiability of promises eminating from this club don't we.
I would be more inclined to listen to signals from the real boss - Barroso

Looking at the journal this evening and it seems there will be more emphasis on environmental benefits and especially those outside cross compliance.

WTF does that mean

This is being brought in because the EU realises that it would not be in the interest of their budget, farm prices or the environment to go down the road of the old CAP ie. pre-92, when it comes to expanding the farm budget to new accession states in Eastern Europe.

PS: For example Poland alone has the capacity to produce more milk then the UK and Ireland combined which I'm sure everyone would agree, would not be in the best interests of the dairy industry/farmers in this country!!

keep going

hold on lads isnt the eu half gone anyway.the amount of money that is flowing into bankrupt nations it cant last
