Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

The European Commission has indicated that modulated funds will be available for use from 2006. Recently I commenced a consultation exercise with all interested parties on the use of modulated funds. I am confident that a decision will be taken well in advance of the 2006 deadline.
