Agriculture could lose “considerably” from post 2020 EU budget – Harkin

The Independent MEP Marian Harkin is warning that the agriculture industry could lose out significantly when it comes to future EU budgets. The European Parliament this week set out its position on the next long-term EU budget which begins in 2021. MEPs have prioritised certain areas such as research programmes, support to young people and small firms as well as making up for any shortfall caused by Brexit. They’ve also said the EU budget should fund new priorities such as modern and sustainable farming. Marian Harkin says Ireland needs to prepare for a tough battle ahead.
