Intent: To stress how the European Commission's proposals in July 2025 on the Multiannual Financial Framework are hugely concerning for IFA.::That the proposed €293.7bn ringfenced for CAP is a drastic cut in both real and nominal terms to the current CAP 2023-2027 budget (and that's assuming forecast Member State contributions materialise). For Ireland, it's potentially a cut of c.€1.8bn (-24%) in the next CAP - a direct hit to the economic viability of farms across Ireland (73% of average farm income was derived from direct payments in 2023/24); generational renewal, essential environmental schemes and rural development measures.::To propose that a minimum ringfenced CAP budget of €500bn is needed to account for inflation and better manage current and future farming challenges. Farmers cannot be expected to do more with less. We have noted the European Commission's proposals with regard the 10% rural expenditure target and frontloading medium term review funds to 2028 announced November 2025
