Copa President @masgiansanti and Cogeca Vice-President Florentin Bercu met this afternoon with incoming Irish Presidency Minister @martinheydonfg 🇮🇪 and with Commissioner @MarosSefcovic 🇪🇺
2️⃣ high-level talks to underline the priorities of the farming community with the Irish Presidency and on trade, in particular:
🖍️For a strong #CAP, with an increased budget up to inflation. No cuts!
🖍️To present @COPACOGECA's positions on MFF/ CAP/ NRPP/ CMO/ European Competitiveness Fund
🖍️To ask rules-based trade and export opportunities for EU agri-food and a trade policy politically accountable and economically sustainable for farmers
🔴 #Mercosur is the test case: EU must control TRQs, enforce safeguards, mirror standards & monitor transparency !

I think
Old companions of the prime,
From our garments well might shrink,
Muddied by the lees of Time.
Fade the heaven-assailing moods:
Slave to petty tasks I pine
For the quiet of the woods,
And the sunlight seems divine.
George Russell (AE), 1867-1935

Edward Carr, @ICOS1894 president speaks of anger, confusion & uncertainty of recent months for dairy farmers. Now there is clarity from Commissioner @VSinkevicius - stabilise or improve water quality and Ireland will keep its #nitrates derogation.

Spoke to the USA Dairy Club in Dublin today about EU policy as part of their week long visit to Ireland north and south. These 50 farmers in room own 1m dairy cows between them. 18,000 Irish dairy farmers own 1.5m cows between them. As they say in US, do the math!
