Mr. Martyn Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on reform of the common agricultural policy and its impact on Wales. [38020]
Mr. Win Griffiths
The European Commission has now published its proposals and the Government have given them a broad welcome. I attended the Agriculture Council meeting on 31 March at which the proposals were discussed. These discussions will continue and we will continue to work closely with farming unions in Wales to identify and argue for the needs of Welsh agriculture as the process goes forward.
