A Future for The Common Agricultural Policy?
Agriculture remains a key issue for Ireland, for Europe and for European citizens. Food availability, food prices and food security, are vital interests. The economic importance of agriculture in terms of employment and expenditure must also be underlined. We are delighted and honoured to have the opportunity of listening to the views of Mairead McGuinness MEP. Mairead serves on the European Parliament's Agriculture and Rural Development Committee and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, and on the Petitions Committee. Mairead is very active on agricultural and rural development, global development policy, the environment and food safety and security. The specific issues she champions at EU level range from, the need for the EU to ensure security of food supply, double standards on food imports to global trade issues under the WTO.
Pat Cox and Professor Brigid Laffan - 29 April 2010
Ireland and Europe: A battle-ground of ideas
On Thursday 29 April 2010 Pat Cox and Professor Brigid Laffan spoke to the IIEA Brussels Branch on the subject of "Ireland and Europe: A battle-ground of ideas". Former European Parliament President Pat Cox and University College Dublin Vice President, Professor Brigid Laffan both played key roles in the Lisbon Referendum campaign. Their professional backgrounds also make them ideally placed to comment on the battle of ideas about Europe. Almost 100 members of the Brussels Branch were therefore enthralled to listen to Pat and Brigid discuss their ideas about Europe in the context of the Lisbon Referendum campaign .
The event also served as the Brussels launch of “Saying Yes: How Ireland reclaimed its future in Europe”, a book which discusses many of the issues to be dealt with by Pat and Brigid in their presentations to the IIEA
