This is the last meeting of the Agricultural Ministers under the Irish Presidency. All eyes will be on the CAP reform debate as throughout their 6 month presidency Irish Farm Minister Coveney has stated his aim to finalise an agreement between the Council, the Parliament and the Commission before they hand over the presidency to Lithuania.
With a number of issues still outstanding, it is likely that this meeting could see a few long nights.

Our Idea of Europe
Since it was founded more than 20 years ago, Slow Food has defended small-scale traditional food producers and raised awareness among consumers at the grassroots level. Its aim is to create a more responsible food system, based on the pleasure and sharing of good, clean and fair food.
Now the time has come for us to liaise with the European institutions to promote our common vision and find common solutions.
We have to work together to design better policies to address the paradigms of food production and related problems such as climate change, the risk of biodiversity loss and our impact on developing countries.
Future policies are bound to affect all of us. Which is why we invite all European citizens to join the debate and also ... join Slow Food.
