I have a question for Mr. Coleman but I will first make a comment to Mr. Loftus. He said it was not the Department's business whether the costs were taken from farmers. If over €20 million is being taken from the dairy industry or the meat industry, I can assure him the processors are passing these costs on to the farmers.

I forgot to ask Mr. Coleman one question. What implications will these new regulations have for genetically modified plants and seeds coming into the country and into the EU?
