European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-06
============================================================

Carol Nolan (IND), Laois-Offaly

I want to ask about the European Commission private storage aid. We know that €80 million was allocated but this is wholly inadequate and insufficient. That has been pointed out by all farming organisations. Is there an opportunity to negotiate a better deal on this? The €80 million that has been allocated is to cover all of the EU. It is a drop in the ocean. Is there an opportunity to discuss and negotiate this further?
