Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

3:10 pm

Mr. David Lynch:

It is too early to be absolutely certain. The current border inspection posts are mainly to do with checks that take place on food of animal origin. These posts will be changed to border control posts and the rules will be broadened to apply to both goods of animal origin and goods of non-animal origin. From that point of view, there will be a greater emphasis on broadening the scope of checks that are carried out on goods and materials coming into the Community.
