This year will be crucial for consulting with the farming community on the forthcoming CAP reform in Europe. Given the obvious budget constraints at this time, CAP, as the second biggest contributor to the budget of the European Union, needs to be reformed in a way so as to ensure that our farmers in Wales receive a fair deal. To assist her in her work as a Welsh MEP in Europe, Kay Swinburne feels that the views and ideas of farmers all over Wales must be heard.

To collect the views of Welsh farmers, Kay is organising a free public meeting for interested farmers across north Wales to attend. The date for a North Wales meeting would be the 1st April at Glyndŵr University, St Asaph between 6pm and 9pm.

At this meeting there will be representatives from the European Commission, European Parliament and the farming unions will give brief updates on CAP followed by audience participation with the intention of receiving feedback along with a lively debate.

It would be great if you could join us for this event – if you would like to register or have further queries please call us on
