Question:194 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the proposals, if any, he has to ensure that the upper limit of 90 head of cattle in relation to beef premia eligibility is raised.
Written Answers. - Beef Premia Eligibility.
The 90 head limit was provided for in the Common Agricultural Policy reform agreement reached by the Council of Ministers last June. Proposals by any member state to re-open an issue so recently agreed upon as part of a complex package would have little chance of success.
