Slovak agriculture minister Zsolt Simon and his German counterpart Ilse Aigner agreed to set up a joint working committee to co-ordinate the efforts of the two countries aimed at reforming the common EU agriculture policy, Simon said in a statement published on the ministrys website. The reform needs to balance the differences between the old and new EU member countries and the two-pillar system that operates currently should be preserved, Simon said.
