Nicholson Meets With DEFRA Minister Hilary Benn MP
Conservative and Unionist MEP Jim Nicholson met with DEFRA Secretary of State, Hilary Benn MP recently to discuss the Government's perspective on the future of the agriculture industry.
High on the agenda was the Lisbon treaty. Recently ratified in the Republic of Ireland, the treaty is now within a stones throw of coming into force which would mean a significant increase of powers for the European Parliament, including an enhanced role for its Agriculture and Rural Development Committee.
Speaking from Brussels Mr Nicholson said,
"I welcomed the opportunity to have this meeting and to hear the Government's perspective on a number of things. We discussed a number of important issues currently affecting the farming industry in Northern Ireland including the simplification of the CAP, in terms of how European and national grants could possibly ease the burden of red tape and allow farmers to get on with their work and also a general discussion about CAP reform.
"I took the opportunity to raise the plight of our dairy farmers with Hilary Benn and urged him and the UK Government to be more supportive of them."
