Broad swathe of civil society organisations ask MEPs to help ensure CAP reform follows citizens’ wishes.
The call from 276 organisations, including An Taisce – the National Trust for Ireland, is heavily critical of the stance of the European Parliament’s Agricultural Committee, saying that MEPs need to act as a whole to counteract the narrow-focus Committee which has followed an unfair and biased approach and failed to deliver on its mandate.
This is battle between the short term-ism of the Committee and the interests of Europe as a whole, says An Taisce.
