Industry association Dairy UK said it would host the seminar, entitled ‘CAP Reform: What Lies Ahead', on 16 February, to give dairy officials the chance to hear views from decision-makers in the European Commission.

The event will kick-start what is set to be an important year of debate in the dairy industry, before the Commission's planned dairy sector review in 2008.

Jim Begg, Director General, Dairy UK said: "The future of the Common Agricultural Policy for the dairy sector will come under intense scrutiny in 2007 and could lead to decisions within a year that would have far reaching implications for the UK dairy industry.”
