Mr. Donal Maguire:

Certainly. One of the few PGI standards we have is on Clare Island. Clare Island salmon has a PGI. They have not used it that much because they found that using the organic certification has been a better route in the marketplace.

Certainly from the farmed fish point of view, going down the organic certified route has turned out to be of more interest to the market and a better route to profitability than necessarily pursuing the PGI route.
