The political agreements on the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) and the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which were secured during the Irish Presidency, were also advanced. We look forward to engaging with Mr Moran on the key developments in what was an important six months in the areas of agriculture and fisheries for the European Union.
