Mids NW MEP welcomes farm deal

A new deal for farmers has been voted through the European Parliament. MEPs have backed the new Common Agricultural Policy with a large majority.  It’s hoped the reformed CAP will prove to be “greener, fairer, more flexible”, according to the parliament. At least one-quarter of farmers’ funding will now depend on environmental schemes. Midlands North-West MEP, Colm Markey, voted for the deal. He says he hopes the new green rules will prove to be workable for Irish farmers.
