The Agri-Vision 2015 committee was established in January 2004 by the Minister for Agriculture and Food and reported in November 2004. Significant work has been done since the publication of the report in response to its recommendations to improve the competitiveness of the agri-food sector and to contribute to a healthy and vibrant rural economy. The result is the Agri-Vision 2015 action plan which will be launched tomorrow, 22 March, by my colleague, the Minister for Agriculture and Food, Deputy Coughlan. Many of the key recommendations contained in the report will be reflected in the next national rural development programme which will encompass EU priorities for the next generation of rural development policy.
