Dacian Cioloş to address post-congress symposium
NEWLY appointed EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Dacian Cioloş will be the principal speaker at an invitation-only symposium on the Future of the Common Agricultural Policy during the post-congress part of the IFAJ 54th annual congress in April.
Billed by the organisers, the European Commission, as a dialogue with international journalists, the symposium will include presentations on the Common Agricultural Policy in a world context, and on perspectives for rural development after 2013 by Jerzy Plewa and Josefine Loriz-Hoffmann of the Commission.
The event, in the Charlemagne Building in Brussels, will run from 9am to lunchtime on Thursday, April 22.
It will give IFAJ members a valuable insight into the reform after 2013 of the €50 billion per year policy for agriculture and rural development in the EU, which is the world’s No 1 agriculture trading bloc.
