Common Agricultural Policy

Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 June 2013. It occurred during Debate on Common Agricultural Policy.

Obviously, we try as far as possible to eliminate potential disadvantages. I cannot say that we will be successful across the board, because this is a negotiated settlement. Where possible we try to make sure that we all play to common ground rules, but with local interpretation. It is clear, for instance, that lowland dairy farming in this country is very different from growing olives on a Greek island. Different criteria apply and we want to make sure that we recognise the differences as well as the common basis.
