  • Issues in the agri-food sector are constantly evolving at both EU and national level. This year is one where a series of potential reforms and changes have been put forward which over-time will almost certainly alter the face of agriculture throughout the European Union. The significant challenge for me as Minister is to address this agenda of change in a way that will protect Irish farming and the agri-food sector and maintain the undoubted gains that this country has gleaned from the operation of the Common Agriculture Policy. For this reason the Annual Review and Outlook for Agriculture and Food is a useful document providing regular and relevant analysis of the dynamics of Irish agriculture and of the challenges ahead. Current issues are outlined such as the mid-term review of Agenda 2000, EU enlargement and the WTO negotiations, along with some preliminary analysis of the impact the Commission proposals on decoupling, modulation and degressivity on Irish griculture. Last year saw a slowdown in the international economy and was also a difficult year for many involved in farming. The continuing importance of agri-food sector to the national economy is, however, underlined by key statistics which show the value of the primary agriculture and the agrifood sectors in terms of their contribution to the overall economy, exports and employment. The Annual Review and Outlook contains much useful analysis of farm incomes and the performance of the major commodities sectors and the agri-food industry as a whole. The ongoing commitment of my Department to the agri-food sector is shown in terms of Departmental expenditure on agriculture, the level of receipts obtained from the EU and positive balance for Ireland from the net trade effect. The Review and Outlook also focuses on other issues of increasing importance including consumer trends, food safety and the environment.

    • Following the momentous events of the previous year, the early months of 2002 saw the winding down of the special controls introduced in 2001 to fight the Foot and Mouth threat. However, enhanced controls at points of entry into the country continue to remain in place. The publication, in March, of an independent economic evaluation of the impact of FMD highlighted in very stark terms the extent of the threat, not only to the agriculture sector, but also to the economy in general posed by Foot and Mouth disease. Widespread outbreaks could have reduced GDP by ?.6 billion, or almost 6%. The enduring lesson is that continued vigilance and attention to biosecurity at farm level remains important. 2002 saw a slowdown in the international economy and was a difficult year for the farming sector as well. The year was marked in particular by adverse weather and difficult market conditions, especially in the dairy sector. I instigated a series of actions in response to these particular difficulties. These included: ■ obtaining EU agreement on a number of occasions to significantly strengthen market supports for dairy products and increased export refunds for beef, to certain destinations; ■ securing EU approval to have the advance payments under the bovine premium schemes increased from 60% to 80%; ■ getting EU agreement to make an advance payment of 50% under the Arable Aid scheme on 16 October – one month ahead of the normal payment date; ■ negotiating the removal of the Russian county ban on beef exports; ■ securing EU agreement to allow the use of set-aside land for grazing/fodder; ■ changes to simplify the REPS application process, including investment by the Department of ?.3 million to facilitate planner access to computerised mapping; ■ changes to reduce the paperwork for farmers in applying for the 2003 Extensification Premia.

    • The most significant event in 2003 was the culmination in June of the year-long negotiations on the Mid-Term Review of the CAP. The agreement reached by the Council marked the most radical change to the CAP since its inception. The Reforms agreed to the CAP ensures that the Policy is now firmly based on the principles of market orientation, sustainability and environmental awareness. For Ireland the outcome of the negotiations represented a very satisfactory outcome with the achievement of significant improvements to the original proposals: • the proposed price reduction for milk was reduced from 10% to 4% and the level of compensation was increased from 56% (the Agenda 2000 level) to the 80% for the additional intervention price reduction of 4%; • the proposed price reduction for arable crops was withdrawn; • the proposed automatic degression of direct payments was withdrawn and replaced by arrangements for financial discipline which will be brought into play only if needed; • the proposed level of modulation reduced from 6% to 5% and Ireland will retain 80% of modulated funds; • the proposed compulsory decoupling was replaced by a range of options; and • the proposed requirements for cross compliance were scaled down from 36 to 18 regulations.
