Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Six-monthly Report on Developments in EU: Discussion with Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

2:30 pm

Mr. Tom Moran:

The target has increased under the new arrangement, but we will definitely bear that in mind. Organic must be part of the tapestry of a food sector like ours. It is on our fish side and on the agricultural side also. Deputy Pringle will be aware more than anybody of where we were concerning the fishery negotiations, including the risk of losing quota. That was a key element from the outset. The Deputy is asking how one can opt back into that, but I want to check the technicalities before reverting to him.
