Description
The European Union will be back at the Ploughing this year with a revamped marquee (Block 2, Row 13, Stand 222) packed with information and entertainment to promote EU opportunities. The big focus this year will be on raising awareness about an EU quality mark that can benefit traditional, authentic quality Irish food and drink producers.
Some features of the EU marquee remain unchanged. It is still the place to meet and have a chat with Ireland’s European Commissioner, Mairead McGuinness and learn about the newly-elected Irish Members of the European Parliament.
The EU team will also have information on a wide range of EU topics - from CAP funding opportunities, to studying, volunteering and working abroad, as well as EU science and innovation programmes that support sustainable farming and food.
See here for full details of all the activities on offer at the EU marquee this year.
