Intent: To welcome the European Commission's announcement of a €540 million support package to assist farmers affected by the current fertiliser crisis. While the detailed regulation governing the distribution of these funds has yet to be published, we urge the Government to commit to co-funding Ireland's allocation to the maximum level permitted under the scheme (200%) to ensure a support package of sufficient scale and impact.::To propose the following;::1. Support must go directly to farmers The impact of rising fertiliser costs is borne by primary producers. Any financial support should therefore be targeted directly at farmers rather than other actors within the supply chain.::2. Funding should be targeted to those most exposed. Given the likely size of Ireland's allocation relative to the scale of the challenge, a universal flat-rate payment would dilute the effectiveness of the measure. Support should instead be targeted towards sectors and enterprises most vulnerable to fertiliser cost
