Crisis reserve part of deal to cut CAP budgetStephen Cadogan

Intervention payments or exportsubsidies to help farmers throughmarket slumps will have to be fund-ed from reductions in direct aidpayments to farmers, as part of lastweek’s EU budget 2014-2020 agree-ment.

Heads of state agreed a marketsupport “crisis reserve” from 2014,whereby if butter intervention isneeded to boost milk prices during amarket slump, for example, all farm-ers within and outside the dairysector will have to pay for it.

The crisis reserve is part of theagreement to cut the CAP budget

11%, as part of the first ever reduc-tion in the EU’s seven-year budget.

The EU’s overall expenditure ceil-ing has been reduced by 3.4% in realterms, compared to the current bud-get. But the cut is 11% for the CAPbudget, pushed down to €373bn for2014-2020, compared to the current€421bn.

The EU’s overall budget falls to€960bn — despite the accession thisyear of a 28th member state, Croatia.Even at that, Europe is expected tooperate at a deficit, with a ceiling foroverall payments set at only €908bn.

Of the CAP allocation, €278bn(75%) will be dedicated to marketrelated expenditure and direct pay-

ments. The two pillar structure willremain, with the rural development(Pillar 2) budget reduced even fur-ther in the final negotiations to€85bn (a 14% decrease compared tothe current situation).

For the first time, member statesare allowed to transfer a part oftheir rural development budget toPillar 1 (for most countries, up to15% can be transferred, but somecountries will be able to transfer upto 25%). The Commission proposalto close one third of the gap in directpayments per farmer between mem-ber states was accepted by heads ofstate. But the original proposals ofthe Commission on greening were

very much watered down, with eachmember state likely to be givenflexibility to create its own list ofgreening measures, and it has nowbeen decided that land cannot betaken out of production, nor farmersincur income losses, to achieve theproposed 7% ecological focus area.

Heads of state also agreed that theproposed reduction, by at least 20%,of direct payments per farm above€150,000, and capping at €300,000,will be voluntary for member states.

Another controversial proposal,the definition of an active farmer,was ignored by heads of state.

Owners and employees havesacrificed hugely to save businesses

B USINESS owners,their suppliers andtheir employees havetaken heroic measures tokeep valid businesses afloatin recent years, says the au-thor of a new book on in-solvency.Ger O’Mahoney, PwCadvisory partner and head ofits Cork office, said the pub-lic will not learn theback-stories to many busi-nesses’ survival until the re-cession is a memory.Staff have taken cuts, andagreed to changes in workpractices; suppliers haveagreed to new paymentplans for bills; and businessowners have gone deep intopersonal debt.“People have made hugesacrifices,” says Mr O’Ma-honey.“We’ve found that when

the issues are properly ex-plained, owners, suppliersand employees all want tostay in business; they wantto save jobs and keep theeconomy moving along.“There are far more un-

sung heroes than ‘sung’heroes out there, peoplewho will be able to turnaround in a few years fromnow and be glad that theydid so much to save jobs.”However, Mr O’Mahoney

says that he wouldn’t advisebusiness owners to put all oftheir personal assets on theline.He says business owners

need to retain a war chest,for the next time they needto “prime the pump” with-in their companies.For most companies, animpartial, external profes-sional viewpoint can helpgauge when it is best to saveor sell a business.Getting that advice earlycan be the difference be-tween staying in businessand selling.And when opting to sell,early advice can ensure thatthe business is sold while itis still saleable.These experiences, of re-cent years, inspired Buyingand Selling Insolvent Compa-nies and Businesses in Ireland

(published by BloomsburyProfessional) the book thatO’Mahoney has co-au-thored with legal experts,Bill Holohan and Ted Hard-ing.Mr Harding is a barrister

and a member of the IrishSociety of Insolvency Prac-titioners.He lectures on insolvencyand has acted in a numberof prominent insolvency andcorporate-restructuring cas-es.Mr Holohan is senior

partner of Holohan Solici-tors. Author of severalbooks on bankruptcy andcorporate insolvency, he hasadvised the Office of theOfficial Assignee inBankruptcy for 20 years.He acts for directors and

their companies, liquidators,examiners, receivers, credi-tors, debtors, investors andfinanciers. He was a found-ing member of the Irish So-ciety of Insolvency Practi-tioners and remains a coun-

cil member.The book explains the is-sues when buying and sell-ing insolvent businesses andincludes chapters on: earlywarning signs; informal in-solvency arrangements;practical measures to preparefor insolvency sales; da-ta-protection; raising funds;dealing with secured andpreferential creditors; andemployee claims.“The book is a road map,written out of our experi-ences of recent years,” saysMr O’Mahoney. “Hopeful-ly, it is written in a positiveway. Things can’t stay thisbad forever.“There are a lot of issuesin the banking sector thathave to be crystallised, but ifwe can get people to takerisks again, we can get theeconomy going forwardagain, also.“I’m not talking aboutcrazy lending. We saw whathappened with the bankslending money on premises

that were not sound. But wedo need a willingness to in-vest in viable businesses, andwe do need to protectjobs.”

Buying and Selling InsolventCompanies and Businesses inIreland covers different formsof insolvency, and structuresfor the transaction, how toacquire assets, how to dealwith pensions, and includesfull tax guidance and how toretain customers and suppli-ers.It also covers intellectual

property, novations, liabili-ties and guarantees and in-demnities. It also includes afull set of precedents.As the title suggests, it of-fers real and practical in-sights into insolvency, ex-aminership and receivership.In previous generations ofbusiness, such terms sound-ed like a death knell. In re-cent years, although leavingunpaid bills in their wake,these mechanisms have alsobeen used to protect viable

businesses and jobs.Mr O’Mahoney says:“The main point of thebook is that for people de-bating insolvency, examin-ership or receivership, theycan thumb through thebook and find the advicethat is most relevant tothem. They can look at for-mal and informal solutions.“They can also use this

advice to help them decidewhich insolvent businessesthey should buy. You haveto take into account theprice, and how you shouldpurchase the business.“Some businesses aretechnically insolvent, butstill able to trade if they haveenough cash.“But, typically, when abusiness doesn’t have cash, itis insolvent. It can be quitehard to sell a business thatdoesn’t have some kind ofguarantee or indemnity. Ifthe purchaser can’t get con-trol over the assets, thendue-diligence becomes

much harder.”In many cases, businessesenter this endgame scenariobecause the directors havebeen to slow to act, tooslow to bring in outsidehelp.When help is sought early,

the owner can sell the busi-ness and maximise the num-ber of jobs transferred tonew owners.“Businesses owners needto act long before their bankmanagers say they can’t cashyour cheques, before there’spressure on your overdraft,before you start extendingyour credit terms to suppli-ers, and your stock is beingreduced,” said Mr O’Ma-honey.“There are many financial

and fiscal warning signs.Each of these, while not fa-tal on their own, give an in-dication of the pressures onthe business.“Every business has gonethrough changes of late.People are facing up to theissues. Most people findthey can talk to their suppli-ers and their employeesabout the issues they’re fac-ing. It can be possible tosolve your issues with infor-mal solutions, but not in ev-ery case.“Everyone tries to avoidinsolvency, but you mayhave to make a tough deci-sion when gross sales havefallen too far. You may con-sider sharing your businesswith another partner, bring-ing in an investor, or sellyour business. We hope thebook offers insights to helppeople with those deci-sions.”Mr O’Mahoney has 25

years’ experience in prac-tice, specialising in corpo-rate finance, due-diligenceand business restructuring.He has advised clients in re-tail, hospitality, education,business services, energy andresources and healthcare.He is a past president of

Cork Chamber, and a boardmember of IDA Ireland andNIBRT. He is a fellow ofthe Institute of CharteredAccountants.

Austerity making the rich richerAusterity has made the richricher and will not bringabout economic recovery,say two leading analysts ina new book, Austerity Ire-land.UCD sociology lecturer,

Kieran Allen, and NUIGeconomist, Brian O’Boyle,have challenged the mar-keting of Ireland as theposter boy of EU austerity.Rather than attracting in-vestors, austerity protectseconomic privilege.“The mainstream narra-tive is that recovery isaround the corner. We have

examined the evidence andfound that this is a myth,”said O’Boyle. “There has,instead, been a radical re-distribution of wealth infavour of those who arebetter-off. Ireland has be-come a tax haven for globalcorporations, with job cre-ation being an ‘add-onsweetener’. It is unsustain-able and we need a radicalchange of policy.”The authors say that in-vestment in the Irish econo-my has fallen from a highof €47bn, in 2007, to€17bn currently.
