When European Commissioner for Agriculture Phil Hogan missed the EU trade mission’s flagship dinner in Shanghai on Tuesday, Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed, who had just landed in the city, was all too happy to step up to the plate and deliver a welcome speech on Big Phil’s behalf. While it was all about Europe, Creed could not resist a few mentions of Ireland’s food exports, and offered to share his experience of getting beef access to China ahead of everyone else in the room. Having an Irish minister and commissioner from the same party has its perks, including a bit of free promotion before the largest agri food delegation ever sent to China by the EU and some of their Chinese partners.
