Future CAP funding for farmers must be defended– McGuinness

The Fine Gael MEP Mairead McGuinness says it’s fundamental that future CAP funding for farmers must be defended.  

The Midlands North-West MEP was speaking in Strasbourg where the European Parliament this week reiterated its position on the EU’s future budget post 2020.

In a vote on Wednesday, MEPs confirmed their position on the next EU long-term budget which will run from twenty twenty one (2021) to twenty twenty seven (2027).

The Parliament has set out a range of priorities for future funding including long-standing farming and cohesion policies which they say should not be reduced.

The Midlands North-West MEP says future CAP budgets must be defended especially given the extra demands being made of farmers.
