An agreement was reached yesterday in Luxembourg, meaning the two pillars of CAP will now be streamlined into one funding stream.
Agri Minister Martin Heydon says it's a major milestone, but the proposals must still be negotiated with the European Parliament.
Independent Ireland MEP Ciaran Mullooly says national and regional partnership plans were also discussed that will allocate the funding to agriculture and all other areas.
He says we need to know the exact amounts ringfenced:
